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
✳️ Where: Delight Factory, Brooklyn
✳️ Tickets: Pay-what-you-can sliding scale available. Learn more and register here.

You’re Invited: open studio + community collage

My studio doors are open all day on Sunday, September 28 as part of Bushwick Open Studios 2025. Please RSVP here to receive reminders, plus instructions on how to find my studio as the building is a bit of a maze. Artmaking and stopping by is all totally free. Come hang out!

What’s happening:

💫 OPEN STUDIO: check out my (and my studio mate Tamara Santibañez’s) new and recent work

💫 COMMUNITY COLLAGE: all-supplies-provided artmaking — try your hand at collage using a selection of found materials and studio scraps, or swap with a neighbor to take your piece in unexpected collaborative directions

💫 STUDIO SALE: affordable pieces available for purchase

Studio sale proceeds or any contributions will go toward several art projects I’m working on this fall:

  • Artist honorariums for an event I’m producing called Art x Care exploring the intersections of caregiving and artistic practice
  • Snacks and supplies for Art in the Garden: free, drop-in artmaking at my local community garden Patchen Community Square
  • Travel expenses for a weeklong artist residency I was awarded in Santa Fe, NM this November

All ages and all experience levels are more than welcome, please stop by!

Circling IRL: 2024 workshops in Memphis and Indianapolis

This year, we hosted three in-person zine workshops through Circling Studios: one in Memphis, TN and two in our hometown of Indianapolis, IN. As with our inaugural Brooklyn, NY workshop last year, we guided participants through making a zine and reflecting on how they sustain creative practice in their lives and homes. We clarified and streamlined some elements of the workshop and grew through the process. It was a pleasure to work through this material with more thoughtful community members this year!
