About this Event
Join artist SPEAKS, RiNo Art District, and RedLine Contemporary Art Center for a program series centered on exploring identity and creating art. This workshop series runs all of 2024 and ends in a group show celebrating the artwork participants create. In this series we aim to deepen and explore our personal connections to our artistic and creative expressions. We also ask questions about how we view and understand ourselves in relation to art. What does it mean to truly“identify” with someone's artwork? What does it mean to see ourselves in our art?
This workshop series builds. Join us for each workshop to get deeper into your exploration of self and creative practice. The workshop series culminates with a group art show. Drop ins and one-off attendees are very welcome!
Participants will be provided with art making materials. Light food and drink will be provided.
April 4th: Create Your Name (Inner Vandal)
Let's explore what it means to own your name and not be ashamed of it. Since birth we have been given a name that may or may not represent our identity in the way we would like it too. Some people change their names and others take on new aliases outside of their birth name. What does it look like when we take ownership of our name, and are not ashamed to express it, but are proud of it?
