Art x Embodiment by Circling Studios

After our Art x Care symposium last fall, we’re thrilled to announce the next Circling Studios event this spring! You’re invited to join us on May 30 for an afternoon of movement, artmaking, and reflection together with some of our favorite artists. [Check out past Circling features of Austen and Marilyn linked here.]

Art x Embodiment: Creativity at Home in the Body

May 30, 2026 | 2-4:30pm | Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Join Circling Studios and artists Austen Bohmer, Marilyn Mitchell, and Veronica Velasquez for a reflective afternoon considering the embodied self as the site of creativity.

Your ticket includes:
🎤 Artist panel discussion and Q&A
🕺 The Vessel, a 45-minute movement practice
✂️ Hands-on artmaking, all supplies provided
🫖 Light refreshments

The day begins as we listen in on a dynamic conversation among these artists working across disciplines and engaging their bodies through creative practice as well as considering physical experiences more broadly in their personal and professional lives.

​Next, The Vessel is a new movement practice for creatives by Austen Bohmer. Drawing inspiration from Butoh, yoga, Jungian Dreamwork, and dancefloors around the world, The Vessel helps you quiet your mind and connect to your body. This is where your creative impulse comes alive.

​Finally, create something with your hands. Guided by the Circling team, wrap up the day with a reflective artmaking opportunity and connect what you’ve learned to your own creative practice.

​You’ll leave having moved your body, practiced stillness, created with your hands, and engaged in reflection and conversation with fellow artists. We hope you walk away feeling grounded, connected, inspired, and ready to integrate these experiences into the next steps of your artistic path.

PeepSpace Flat File 2024/25

Two of my colored pencil drawings are currently on view at PeepSpace in Tarrytown, NY as part of the gallery’s fourth iteration of its flat file program. I had the chance to visit for the opening reception last weekend and enjoyed meeting fellow artists and the gallery’s new co-directors.

The exhibition continues through December 7, and all pieces will remain available for viewing or purchase throughout the year in the gallery’s flat file. To learn more or inquire, please contact peepspaceny@gmail.com.

Bushwick Open Studios 2023

It’s been almost a year since I moved into my current studio at Paradice Palase’s Oasis Studios, and I really love the space as well as all I’ve been able to work on there. The building (including my studio, and the other artists listed below) will be open from 1-6pm on September 24 as part of this year’s Bushwick Open Studios. I hope you’ll come by to check out the space as well as some of my new drawings which have not yet been exhibited.

All are welcome! Bring your kid, your neighbor, your dog. There will be light snacks and drinks to share, and I’ll be giving away some greeting card prints of my work to those who stop by. Plus, Krystiana and I will be collecting contributions for a collaborative Circling zine that weekend, so you’ll be able to add to that as well while you’re here!
