ARTiculate

Have you looked at a piece of art and wondered what the artist was thinking when they produced the work you are looking at? Do you wonder if what you see in the finished work is what the artist intended?

ARTiculate is a series of talks put on by the WCAS to give the general public, and other artists, a chance to meet some of the many active artists in the West Carleton Region. Along with this comes a chance to see what makes these people tick and to hear a little about what the artists feel about their own work.

We hope that the evening will be experienced as more of a friendly chat between artist and viewer rather than a formal lecture. This isn’t a series about techniques. It’s about gaining some insight into how the artist sees his/her own work, and will look at the themes, emotions, or viewpoints that emerge from the finished work.

You do not have to be an artist yourself to benefit from this series. Consequently the target audience is not only artists but anyone that is interested in gaining a better understanding of various forms of art and the creative process. The goal is to make our interaction with art more of a community experience, reachable by all ages regardless of previous experience with any particular art form. In simple terms, we want the artist to tell us why they do what they do and about what they hope we might see in some of their finished works.

So the artist will bring some of their work and use them as examples while they talk. The audience will get a chance to see what we hope is wonderful art in a more conversational setting – rather than the less interactive experience you might get at a gallery or show.

It is anticipated that the talks will last about 40 – 45 minutes and that each session will also include an opportunity to meet and mingle with other art lovers. Invite a friend and come join us for an informative and entertaining evening.


ARTiculate - "fireside" artist talks will take place on the
3rd Wednesday of each month.
