sketchbook year 🚆 120-126

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:

  • Sunday, July 19 | 11am-1pm | Art x Embodiment
    guided movement and reflective artmaking, presented with Austen Bohmer of The Vessel
  • Saturday, July 25 | 1-4pm | How to Talk About Your Art
    a workshop to help you communicate confidently about your art and creative practice 
  • Friday, July 31 | 7-10pm | Circling In Situ Closing Reception
    exhibition viewing, meet some of the exhibition artists, refreshments (there will be cake!)

This year, I am making at least 365 drawings in my sketchbook and sharing seven of them weekly. Check in on Tuesdays for new posts, or look for monthly round-ups in my studio newsletter — you can subscribe here to receive those in your inbox.

For the first date, we’ll create our own stamps and explore other upcycled printmaking methods — creating multiples so we can swap with other neighbors. Check out the flyer and dates below for all details, if you’re in Brooklyn please stop by our community garden to participate!

Free Circling Workshop: How to Talk About Your Art

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.

Recap: Art in the Garden 2024

It was a great second season of Art in the Garden at Patchen Community Square! Here are some photos from this year’s free, all-ages, drop-in artmaking workshops I facilitated at my neighborhood garden where I’ve been a member since 2018. I also collaborated with fellow garden member Nicole Haile to co-host a Kids Day and Postcard Rally for Palestine during two of this season’s Art in the Garden sessions.
