4833 rph — Event Calendar for January 2007

The goals of the Community Arts Assistance Program (CAAP) are to discover, nurture and expand Chicago’s multi-ethnic artists and nonprofit arts organizations, and to foster new and emerging individual artists and arts groups by providing grants for professional, artistic, and organizational development to those who have had limited access to funding in both public and private grants programs.
CAAP grants provide financial assistance to individual artists, and to nonprofit arts organizations with incomes under $100,000. The maximum grant request is $1,000. These workshops are strongly recommended for all grant applicants and provide a step-by-step look at how to put together an application.

TalkingPoint artist, David Schutter, is University of Chicago Visiting Artist and Lecturer in the Visual Arts Department.

He earned an undergraduate degree from The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and an MFA from The University of Chicago. His most recent one person exhibition was engaged with the 17th Century Dutch collection of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. David Schutter is interested in questions of the painting process and memory, phenomenological experience and reproduction. His paintings are conceptual in that they question the existence of essences, as a philosophical question; and they are investigations into the visual and tactile qualities of paint, as an endeavor to speak.

As a starting point for the discussion, David asks, “Why gray?”

Join this growing community of artists for our unconventional artist conversation series which reinvents the artist talk, encouraging casual discussion and conversation rather than a lecture or panel. Come down to the Art Center, meet some creative people, and have a beer on us. FREE!
