Collaborative Studios Discussion at the Cultural Center
Collaborative Studios
Angee Lennard Speaks at the Chicago Cultural Center
Thursday, April 22, 2010
6:00pm – 7:30pm
Chicago Cultural Center
78 E. Washington
Chicago, IL 60602
Chuck Thurow, former director of the Hyde Park Art Center, will uncover the inner workings of Chicago’s many collaborative studios. He will be joined by Pearl Dick of Chicago Hot Glass, Angee Lennard of Spudnik Press, and Bruce Robbins of Lill Street Studios. They will lead a discussion on the character of these studios: what is the process of starting and maintaining a facility geared for processes that involved group participation and specialized equipment? How can the creative benefits of these collaborative environments be maximized? How do the novice and the seasoned artist mix in these settings? And what opportunities are there for local artists from learning to residencies at these facilities?

Yesterday For Tomorrow: New work on the Project Wall
with presentation and demonstration by Angee Lennard
Thursday, April 29
6-7pm
Free
@ Spudnik Press
1821 W Hubbard, Suite 308
Chicago, IL 60622
On April 29nd, Spudnik Press will debue our new and improved Project Wall that will highlight work made at Spudnik Press and allow us to have a permanent installation of work available for sale to help support our community of printers.
As we roll out this new and improved nook of the studio, we will also be adding some interesting programming. One night a month, prior to a Thursday night Open Studio, we will present free events such as demonstrations, presentations of new work, and panel discussions. The first two events are scheduled, so write them in your calendar and stop by on your way home from work!
Angee Lennard will discuss new work she made during her recent Residency at AS220 Printshop. She will talk about her inspiration, and furthermore, she will demonstrate Mezzotinting – an often forgotten printmaking technique that is shrouded in mystery and misconceptions.
