My Fantasy Residency

Workshop Description - What's an artist residency? How do you select an artist for residency? How do you decide what the artist will do once he or she is there? Students will learn how the Gallery is bringing together artists and community while they create their own fantasy residency plans for an invitee of their own choice.

The Ins and Outs of Tracing

Workshop Description - Ingrid Calame traces stains, spills, paint marks, and other evidence of human presence to create energetic paintings that look entirely abstract. Are they really abstract or are they exact representations of things found in the real world? Find your own marks and create a drawing or painting using Calame's process.
