Event Description

Where does your unique voice come from? How does your artwork connect with your viewers? Could your past hold half-buried clues for a richer creative future?
Join nationally known Atlanta artist Leisa Rich for a transformational workshop -- Artistic Genealogy: Charting Your Creative Journey, co-sponsored by the Pittsburgh Society of Artists and the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh. The workshop will be held at Pittsburgh Filmmakers on September 22 and 23, 2012.
With Leisa's help you'll examine your ancestral, family, health, social, artistic, and technological influences to create a "family tree" of your artistic self. You'll work on your own and with others to heighten your awareness of subtle connections and uncover fruitful directions for future work. According to Rich, the process is an excellent way for artists to get unstuck. Expect thoughtful insights, moments of self-discovery, creative new avenues to pursue, and lots of fun with fellow artists.

Steve Shelby left a comment for John Lunn"Hi John. I love your flute. I worked at a job for 23 years making keys and the metal parts for contrabassoons. Unfortunately, there was no creativity involved. The upside is that I learned a huge amount about working with metal and making tools."
John Lunn replied to John Lunn's discussion SNAG Toronto part 4 in the group Tapestry of Talents: Bringing Your Whole Voice to Your Craft"It is a good article. It's a bit disappointing that the 3 artists they interview are men when it was so obvious that 90% of the Trunk Show exhibitors were women. I'd like to do a blog or two on the influence of women in the arts and how it…"
Steve Shelby commented on Rebecca Rose's group Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately"Hi Rebecca. I have had probably a 50% success rate entering juried exhibitions, which I think is actually pretty good. I don't do shows where you go and peddle your wares from a booth. The exhibitions I've been in are held in art museums…"
