About this Event

Moderators: Tracy Cornish & Lee Hemingway

Event Overview

Do you look at art and wonder, “Is it art?” or “What makes that art?” or even “Am I really making art?” This weekly drop in event will review a variety of artists and their work through open guided discussion of multiple artists on a theme. We won’t be reviewing each other’s work nor will we be reviewing Burner art rather we will examine works that are pivotal to answering the above questions. By engaging in regular constructive dialogue we will prepare each other to recognize form, theme, and context.

Form: How the work “is”.
Theme: What the work is about.
Context: When, where, for whom was the work created?
