SPACE BEING: Studio building for artists of color

Facilitator: SAKURA KELLEY

Who is it for:

Course Description:

This course aims to support BIPOC folks on the path to claiming rightful space for their creative practice.

The guiding question for this course is: how can we build a space that encourages intrinsic motivation, is expansive for one's imagination, and is structured in a way that creative impulses can be easily enacted and developed?

- Tuition will be generously supported by donors of Artists' Literacy Institute

- Participants will receive a $200 micro grant towards their studio building efforts

What You Need To Succeed:

1. Space—ideally at least 25sq. ft, of temporary, semi-temporary, or permanent space that can be dedicated as a studio. This may include a mobile unit such as a vehicle or something else

2. Time to work independently on developing and testing ideas, and to attend regular class sessions
