Our fist meeting

(posted originally on 11/20/2011)

Our first official meeting took place on Monday, November 7 at the JCC. Most of the artist came, but we're still looking for a couple more who would want to join in this journey. During our time together this week, everyone shared who they are in very general terms. We hope that we will discover more about each other as we start learning, talking and sharing.

We also talked about the possibility of visiting the JMKAC in Sheboygan to view the exhibit "Hiding Places: Memory in the Arts".

Our NEXT MEETING is scheduled take place at the JCC on Monday, November 21. Each participating artist was asked to bring ONE WORK THEY HAVE CREATED. Any size/media. The choice and format is yours: Bring the actual work, a photograph, drawing, painting, slide, or digital image of it.

Here are answers to some of the questions that came up:
Only ONE work? Yes, only one.
Would one poem or one book constitute one work? That's up to you.
How can I choose only one? Well, that's also up to you. Be mindful of what you choose. You'll be asked to talk about the reasons for your particular choice: What does this choice say about you as an artist? As a person?
