I am on my way to Washington DC today! If you're in the DC area (or want to head that way) I'll be drawing and speaking at the National Gallery of Art on March 1 and 2. Here are the deets:
Friday, March 1, 12pm-1pm: In conjunction with the National Gallery of Art exhibition Dorothea Lange: Seeing People, I'll give a talk on my work in conversation with Dorothea's work. I'll discuss our overlapping methodologies: how we each developed our artistic/journalistic practices, how we use our respective mediums to research, create visual stories, connect with people, and engage with social change, and some of the challenges inherent to our artistic/social practices as well. The talk is free, but registration is required. Sign up here. And bring your questions - we'll do Q&A for sure.
Saturday, March 2, 11am-3pm: I'll host DrawTogether Strangers inside the National Gallery! If you aren't familiar with this project, listen to the New York Times' audio piece, "A Deceptively Simple Way to Rebuild Trust in Scary Times." Last week I trained 20 enthusiastic National Gallery staff members to co-host drawing tables, too, so there will be a bunch of us there to facilitate strangers (you! your family and friends! people you don't know!) drawing, looking and loving. There will also be a table to hang out and keep drawing beyond the Strangers experience, and a gallery wall to hang up your art. Yes, that's right, you get to hang your art in the National Gallery. PUT THAT ON YOUR ARTISTS RESUME! All ages welcome. Registration not required, but GUT peeps and DT kids, please come say hi and introduce yourself. COME DRAW! Interested in hosting a DrawTogether Strangers experience yourself?? Everything you need to set one up including the free toolkit is here!
