Art x Care : in photos

Art x Care took place on October 25, 2025 at the Delight Factory in Brooklyn, NY. This symposium hosted by Circling Studios explored the question, “How do our needs, relationships, and caregiving responsibilities complicate and contribute to artistic practice?”

The day included an opening meditation, two panel conversations with artists working across disciplines, and a guided reflection on our own ecosystems of care. Our featured artists and speakers included: Jessica Angima, Maria De Victoria, Ziedah Diata, Blair Goldberg, Marley McClean, and Sara J. Winston. My Circling creative partner Krystiana and I produced, hosted, and moderated the day.

Art is for the people

In a little under four years at the Whitney Museum of American Art, my small but mighty team (Taylor! Alice!) hosted well over 350k attendees at member events, Free Friday Nights, and a slew of other gatherings. From intimate tours and gallery walks to full-museum celebrations, we connected members and visitors with art and artists, provided opportunities for people to create something of their own, and evolved the Whitney as a space that’s for communing with others in addition to seeing great art. We worked with so many talented artists, performers, and speakers and hopefully made the museum feel a little more welcoming along the way.

It’s a rare opportunity to build something brand-new within an established institution, so I’m so proud to have led the programming and operations build-out of the Whitney’s Free Friday Nights alongside my thoughtful, brilliant, and cool-under-pressure colleagues. I believe deeply that art is for everyone, and developing this program which has welcomed thousands of people into the museum for the first time, diversified the Whitney’s audiences to more closely reflect the city we live in, and opened new lines of collaboration with artists and community organizations is work I am grateful to have been a part of.

As of one month ago, I’ve shifted into a period of focusing on my own art practice, independent projects like Circling, and event production / project management work for creative organizations but I certainly intend to bring this ethos along with me. Art is for the people ❤

As we round out 2025 and enter the new year, I’d love to host folks for studio visits or to grab coffee to hear about what you’re working on. Please send me a message or email, and we can get something scheduled soon.

Art in the Garden 2025

We had a great third season of Art in the Garden at Patchen Community Square this season. I love sharing the space and the chance to make something together with my neighbors and all who stop by the garden during our sessions. I experimented with providing more specific projects / prompts for each week, and liked that approach. Here are some photos of what this year looked like — stay tuned for season four coming in 2026!

🍅 Art in the Garden is a series of free, all-ages, drop-in artmaking workshops created and hosted by garden member and artist Lynnette Therese Sauer at Patchen Community Square in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

You’re Invited: Art x Care, a symposium by Circling Studios

This fall, I’m excited to dedicate more time to independent projects that are important to me. One such event is Art x Care, a symposium I’m co-hosting as part of my work on Circling, which will take place in three weeks on October 25.

✳️ We’re discussing the question: How do our needs, relationships, and caregiving responsibilities complicate and contribute to artistic practice? ✳️

This half-day event brings together a wonderful lineup of speakers with experience navigating caregiving alongside work in visual art, theater, academia, healthcare, and community organizing. Come together for a morning of connection, reflection, and practical insights for creating more sustainable systems of care, conceived for and by artists.

Please consider joining us in Brooklyn on the 25th, or sharing this with the artist / arts worker / creative in your life! I’d love to see you there, or share more about this project – let me know if you have any questions.

✳️ When: Saturday, October 25
