Week #18: back on track
Catching up on sketchbook pages (and posting them) after the past few busy weeks. Our Circling residency at Delight Factory is in full swing, and a lot of time and attention has been shifted there as we finalized and installed our first exhibition (Circling In Situ), created a print zine to accompany the show, and hosted the first three of six total gatherings we’re facilitating during our time as artists-in-residence. There’s still time to join us! Thanks to Delight Factory’s generous support, all events are either free or pay-what-you-can:

We are thrilled to announce Circling Studios’ first exhibition! Taking place as part of our residency at Delight Factory this July, Circling In Situ is an interdisciplinary art exhibition of work from past Circling featured artists:
🔹Mona Saeed Kamal
🔹Krystiana Kosobucki-Howell
🔹Marilyn Mitchell
🔹Natalie Preston
🔹Lynnette Therese Sauer
🔹Nicholas Thomson
🔹Veronica Velasquez
🔹Sara J. Winston
Circling In Situ contextualizes the work of New York area artists within their daily life, home, and logistical concerns. One artist makes photographs in spare moments while receiving medical treatment, another turns his neighborhood into a painting studio; a third uses found objects from a family home to connect local and familial history with global struggle.
There are as many ways to be an artist and sustain creative practice as there are people, and this collection of works showcases a diversity of not just subject matter and medium, but of the ways that the work comes into being. True to Circling’s ethos, a companion zine makes visible part of the constellation of objects, practices, and relationships that make these creations possible. While each artist works in their own medium and manner, this exhibition brings them together to highlight how the creative practice fits into the artist’s life.
Events and Viewing Opportunities:
🔹Opening Reception: Thursday, July 9, 6-9pm — RSVP (free; refreshments provided)
🔹Closing Reception: Friday, July 31, 7-10pm — RSVP (free; refreshments provided)
🔹On view during all Circling workshops in July: Full Residency Calendar
🔹And by appointment: email delightfactorynyc@gmail.com to arrange
