- Application Deadline
Friday, November 8, 2013 at 4:00pm - Wednesday, November 27, 2013
- MAWA
Bodies of work, united by theme or form, represent your practice much more strongly than a hodge-podge of “one offs.” Through lectures and critiques, Elaine Stocki will lead a three-session, three-week mini-mentorship for women artists on developing skills to assemble strong groups of images. Iconic bodies of photographic work by contemporary and historic artists will be presented for analysis. Conceptual and formal frameworks for grouping works and the importance of choices/editing will be discussed. Participants will have the opportunity to show work and receive critical feedback, with the goal being to help you develop a cohesive series of photo-based work.
Free to apply; $45 enrollment fee; for MAWA members only.
