NURTURE Art Workshop Speed Dating Mashup

Tired of the news cycle or just this constructed season of Cupid?

Join five of NURTURE’s artists as they pull back the curtain on their process. Spend a fun afternoon at various “inspiration stations” throughout this group exhibition curated by Gia Harewood (@giametricart) at The Yard - Eastern Market.

Hear some poetry, explore simple book structures, dive into meditative drawings and woodblock prints, journey into science as art, and more! Cycle through each station to learn about these dynamic artists and their practice on a deeper level, share stories, and boost your creativity.

Participating artists include:

• Joy Bassey (@joyjayne_egloszryt)
• Elizabeth Curren (@bethcurren)
• Carolee Jakes (@c.jakes)
• Shelley Lowenstein (@shelleymlow)
• Preston Sampson (@preston.sampson)

Plus you’ll get to see the exhibition as a whole! It also includes works by Anjelika Deogirikar Grossman (@anjelika), Ashley Joi (@artistryofashleyjoi), and Dwayne Eugene Martin (@demartin7980).

We'll have music, light snacks, playfulness, and positive vibes. Remember, chaotic times call for creative care, so look for the recessed entrance between Chase Bank and Trader Joe's and join us!
