Art comes from intelligence,
one must have something to say,
but on the other side, that of capability,
one must be able to express it.
-Joseph Beuys, 1972
All artists benefit from dialogue with their peers.
Artist Session Series is an open platform for artists to gather and discuss their work.
Artist Session Series is open to all community members at any stage of their creative career.
In this inclusive environment, artists benefit from a cross-generational “crit” experience that welcomes all levels of the conversation.
Artist Session Series is a timed format, typically 10 minutes per artist during a 2-hour session.
Artists are asked to bring one example (or a cohesive body) of recent work to present to the group.
All creative mediums are encouraged including (but not limited to) painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, ceramics, installation, performance, sound, and digital creations.
Artists are expected to engage with their peers as part of this collaborative gathering.
Artist Session Series will meet monthly from March to July for the spring/summer period (with additional sessions in the fall season).
The sessions take place in the conference room on the second floor at The Arts Center of the Capital Region @ 265 River Street in Troy, NY.
Each session allows for a maximum of 12 participants at no cost.
The sessions are first-come, first-served, and sign-ups are open now! Keep an eye out for announcements regarding future sessions, which will open for sign-ups a few weeks in advance. The spring/summer schedule:
