Art : Dialog “Going Forward”

Description

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 like-minded artists. The meeting is free and open to anyone interested in connecting with artists.

The featured topic for the first part of the session is “Going Forward”. Let’s discuss how the pandemic affected your art practice and how you have (or maybe haven’t) been able to resume working on your art. It’ll be an opportunity to share observations and experiences, as well as to discuss strategies for coping and continuing to be productive going forward. Here are a few questions to consider ahead of the meeting:

• Has your art and practice changed for the better or worse over the last three years?
• Have you become more or less productive than you would like and in what ways?
• What measures, if any, have you tried to cope with these changes and how successful were they?
• Is there an approach that has worked for you that you might encourage other artists to try?

We’ll have ample time for conversation and networking during the break. And if you choose, bring one or more pieces of your work to just share with us or to receive honest, constructive feedback from the other artists during the balance of the session.

You’ll also have the opportunity to see “Captured on Film”, an exhibition that debuts work from a new project by our own photographer Eric Law. The series takes an intimate look at old, discarded and rusty things, captured on traditional black and white film using a pinhole camera and hand-printed on silver-based paper.

Please RSVP by registering so we can be sure to have enough seats for everyone. And don’t forget to invite another artist to attend with you!
