Education
Independent art, guidance, and growth for artists.
Are you ready to advance your practice and move your career to another level? Are you craving a critical conversation about your work? Hyde Park Art Center is offering a new program for working artists that will provide the opportunity to develop a body of work for exhibition at the Art Center with guidance and feedback from arts professionals and a supportive peer network. This seminar-style program will offer ongoing critical feedback and time and space to develop your work.
Over the course of the program guest artists, critics, and professionals will push Center Program artists to answer tough questions, evolve their art, and ultimately produce a strong body work ready for presentation. Guest professionals are artists, critics, and curators, such as Susan Snodgrass, Annie Morse, Dawoud Bey, Juan Angel Chavez, Jim Duignan, and Tricia Van Eck. Between bi-weekly seminars, Center Program artists also have optional scheduled studio time in addition to general studio access for the following studios: Painting & Drawing, Digital Lab, Photo Darkroom, Printmaking/Silkscreen, Ceramics, and Mixed Media. Director of Exhibitions Allison Peters-Quinn will work with Center Program artists to design the final exhibition, opening on August 5th in the Art Center's main gallery.
The Center Program features seminar and studio meetings, held on Mondays from 6 to 9pm from Monday, February 13th to Monday, June 25th. Formal seminar meetings will occur every 2nd Monday, with visiting professionals joining critical discussions around individual work and group goals. To learn more about the 2011 pilot program, please visit the Center Program blog.
