Week Eleven: Honoring the Circle / Preparing for Exhibition
This week is both practical and celebratory. You’ll polish your artwork for the catalog, photograph it, and finalize supporting materials. Alongside these tasks, we’ll reflect together on the circle of growth we’ve traveled. Every frustration, breakthrough, and experiment has led to this moment. By week’s end, your work will be ready to share with others—and you’ll be able to honor the journey that brought it forth. |

MONDAY ZOOM: The first part of the zoom will be open for any questions you might have in regard to technical aspects of getting your work uploaded for the catalogue exhibition with its statement and correct labeling. In preparation for the Zoom, Review the Submission Links: Headshot/Bio Link and Artwork/Statement Link to make sure you are clear about the catalog submission process. We will go over these links in the Zoom, but having your questions ready will be helpful. The second half of the zoom is yours to share any thoughts you want to your zoom community. Next Week is Studio Week, so you will have two weeks to get your catalog materials completed and submitted. During Week Twelve, the final week of the Residency, we will meet for our Monday Zoom to share your reflections on your next step in your art. We have provided two documents for you to read before the last Monday Zoom. Your Journey After Enso-Some Things to Think About and The Continuing Residency.
