Free Circling Workshop: How to Talk About Your Art

Posted on January 3, 2026 Posted in Circling, eventsTagged art workshop, artist, artist workshop, event, facilitation, how to talk about your art, professional development for artists, workshopLeave a comment

This year, speak confidently about your art and creative practice.

Join us for a free, two-part workshop filled with guided reflections, exercises, and tips on speaking and writing with clarity and specificity about your work presented in partnership with our friends at Paradice Palase.

Session one will cover speaking about your art in an audience-aware, multi-sensory, and grounded way as you prepare for studio visits, exhibition tours, or artist talks.

In session two, learn how to hone descriptions of your work for written purposes: communicate clearly and with a goal in mind as you draft grant applications, artist statements, and more.

Attend one session, or both — each can stand alone, and we will share the recording with all who subscribe after the workshop.

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.

Posted on October 3, 2025November 19, 2025 Posted in Circling, eventsTagged art event, Art x Care, artist talk, Brooklyn event, care work, Circling, Circling Studios, conversation1 Comment

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.

Circling IRL: 2024 workshops in Memphis and Indianapolis

Posted on December 15, 2024December 12, 2025 Posted in Circling, eventsTagged art workshop, Circling, Circling Studios, event production, facilitation, Indianapolis, Memphis, zine workshopLeave a comment

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!
