 Don't miss our Thursday zoom workshop on Outsider Artists. A window into the rich stories of the world of artists outside of the mainstream of the art world marketplace. Outsider Art is a problematic umbrella term for visionary artists, self taught artists, artists inside of institutions such as prisons, artists with mental illness or psychosis, artists who couldn't read, remote or rural artists, and more. We will meet some amazing characters and take a look at their work and their world. Outsider Art is one of Lorette's special interests in art history. Join us! A general variety pack Sunday Session follows next Sunday, and a workshop on Jean Michel Basquiat is next week. “If you love learning about art and artists and if you love writing, Lorette's workshops are the perfect place to twine those loves together! Comfortable, educational and inspiring, these two enjoyable hours fly by. And like me, you may linger breathing in the riches of The Ekphrastic Review for your heart and soul.” Fran Turner Outsider Art: an Ekphrastic Discovery Workshop
CA$30.00
Join us on online on Thursday, July 7 from 3 to 5 PM Eastern Standard Time to learn about "Outsider Art," a problematic umbrella term for self-taught art, Art Brut, prison art, art of artists with mental illness, art of artists who are not literate, remote artists' art, some folk art, "raw art," and more. The world of outsider art- art outside the mainstream of the art world narrative- is a fascinating tapestry of human histories. Writers will find endless inspiration in the biographies of trial and triumph and in rich and curious paintings, sculptures, and art environments of artists like Bill Traylor, Sister Gertrude, Henry Darger and many more. We will take a visual tour through outsider art's history, highlighting some fascinating pictures and stories. There will be some creative brainstorming exercises to spark imagination and ideas, and a chance to start or write a poem or story. Doors open at 2.45 PM EST, for those who wish to meet and mingle. We prefer to end our workshops organically after our last discussion and exercise, so they may go overtime. No refunds for cancellations, sorry. We will happily move you to a future workshop if you cannot attend. Our workshops are all about community, creativity, and conversation! We encourage discussion and sharing. We strive for an environment that is both challenging and supportive, to grow your writing practice in unexpected directions. Sunday Session July 10
