THE ARTIST AS RESEARCHER EXPLORING THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY'S ART COLLECTIONS
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21 Begins at 10:30AM
The first workshop at The Picture Collection will be Saturday, October 21—sign ups are open now! The next workshop about Fluxus will be Saturday, December 2 and the following programs about Rare Manuscripts and Japanese Photography respectively will be announced in the new year.
This series was developed specifically for practicing visual artists, with the goal of not only enhancing research skills, but also exploring the breadth of content–and inspiration–available with just a library card.*
Workshops will be held on Saturdays. Coffee and light bites will be offered at 10:30 AM before each workshop, with each program beginning promptly at 11:00AM. Invitations to this series are being extended to the artist communities of the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture and the EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop Program.
Attendance for each workshop is capped at 35 people. Since space is limited, we encourage you to sign up quickly, but also only for the workshops that most interest you and you are certain you are able to attend. Please note if you attended the last session, this iteration will mostly be interesting to you if you wish to experience that collection again. The Picture Collection format is the same, but of course, has limitless possibilities.
*Please note you do not need a valid library card to attend, but you can sign up for one after the workshop is over!
