You have been toiling away alone in your studio for some time. You feel strongly about your new work and want to share it. More importantly, you want to receive some feedback on your practice from a peer, a senior artist, a curator or an arts writer. Curator Daina Warren will offer some key advice on how to prepare for a successful studio visit and break down some of the anxiety about presenting your work. Learn how to invite a guest, how to prepare for the visit, and what to do and NOT do!
Presented in partnership with ACI Manitoba
$10 for members of MAWA or ACI; $20 for non-members. No need to register, just come.
