- Thursday, July 24, 2014
- MAWA, 611 Main Street
MAWA members will have the opportunity to apply for studio visits with Katz-Freiman, who will be selecting the artists she will meet. Through this selection process, we hope to ensure that the dialogue will be engaged and fruitful for both parties, based on common concerns and interests. Ideally, these visits will result in helpful feedback and useful suggestions for the artists, and possibly future exhibition opportunities.
Tami Katz-Freiman’s visit is made possible through the Foreign Visiting Artist Program, Canada Council for the Arts.
