ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Let the landscape around you be a collaborator in your work! In this outdoor workshop, we’ll dive into spatial, scenic, and geo-cultural landscape aesthetics and dramaturgy, and learn different methodologies to apply them to your work as a generative artist.

Throughout the workshop, we’ll be on the move, using the environment around us as inspiration and a tool to create the seed of new work.

Please bring a blanket and something to write on and with. Feel free to bring your favorite snack and something to sip on. And more importantly, come as you are.
