2021 ARTIST WORKSHOP SERIES
Multiple Horizons Art Writing Workshop
Saturday, February 27, and Sunday, February 28
As Central California Native artists become more visible on the global art scene, we need voices from within the community who are intimately connected with our regional cultural views to represent our work accurately through the written word. This workshop is part of a larger effort to build the capacity of our regional native artists and build a pool of confident native art writers.
- Register for the symposium here.
- c:a+m artists can RSVP for the workshop through February 24 by e-mailing cam.culturalarts@gmail.com.
Hosted by c:a+m in conjunction with First American Art Magazine’s We Have Words for Art: A Symposium on Writing about Art by Indigenous Peoples of the Americas.
