Learning to See ∙ Developing Your Voice ∙ Participatory Lecture
Friday May 30, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm EDT
Many are very interested in learning how to paint but sometimes may or may not be as interested in learning how to draw... But what if I told you that learning to draw would improve your painting skills significantly?! So, if you are a painter – I encourage you attend this participatory talk! No rulers, and no words like perspective or ellipses will be included! Kelly will guide you through a brief set of creative skill building exercises to bring back to your studio practice. The prompts and supporting discussion will strengthen your individual voice with new ways to experience seeing, and making lines translated to drawings with a fully engaged body and heart centered practice. Paper and Drawing Media will be Provided.

Ask Anything: A Deep Dive into Being a Working Artist
Friday May 30, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT
"I have no more room - How do I find and set up a studio? I want to sell my art - How do I get my work into a gallery? This art thing is expensive - How do I make ends meet? I have so much going on with my family and my life - How do I juggle being an artist with everything else going on? I am not even sure what my art career can be - How do I define success and carve a career out of my passion?" These and many more questions will be discussed in this new roundtable format. David, Milisa and Lisa will lead and engage participants in a lively conversation. These three veteran artists have over 100 collective years of art making experience! They will create a brave space where they will pull back the veil of artists' secrets and discuss the joys, the challenges, and everything in between, of being an artist at any career stage. This newly created roundtable discussion is designed for veteran as well as first-time conference attendees. A robust conversation full of myriad take-aways is guaranteed!
