Art : Dialog

About

Art : Dialog is an opportunity for you to gather with other Detroit-area artists to talk about “all things art” and to share your work with other, like-minded creatives. The meeting is free and open to anyone interested in connecting with artists.

When

We meet every few months on a Sunday from 12:30 – 4 pm. The program starts at 1 pm.

Where

Color | Ink Studio is located at 20919 John R Rd. in Hazel Park—two short blocks north of 8 Mile on the west side of John R at the corner of George Ave. The entrance is on the south (8 Mile) side of the building, with ample parking in the lot and additional parking available on the side streets. Did we mention that coffee, tea, water and light snacks are offered?​

Next Meeting: Are You Gallery Ready?

Date: Sunday, June 22
Time: 12:30 – 4 pm

We encourage you to arrive early and reconnect with others before the start of the program at 1 pm (and have a cup of coffee or tea on us).

The featured topic for the first part of this session is “Are You Gallery Ready?” Discover where you stand on the path to success in exhibiting your art. We’ll share ten questions to discuss and answer for yourself—ones that are important regardless of whether you exhibit in galleries, juried exhibitions, local art fairs, or group shows. This self-evaluation will give you an assessment you can use to identify the next steps in developing your art practice. For example:

  • Do you have 20-25 cohesive and consistent works ready for presentation?
  • Are your artworks created with high-quality materials and presented professionally?
  • Do you have an artist statement, biography, and resume prepared?

There will be ample time for conversation and networking during the break. And if you choose, bring one or two pieces of your work to share with us or to ask for honest, constructive feedback in a supportive setting during the second part of the session.

You’ll also have the opportunity to see “Through the Lens”, the 2nd Annual Photography Show organized by Maus Haus Gallery.
