This program consists of six Saturday morning sessions designed to deliver a focused, high-level exploration of essential knowledge for practicing visual artists. Each session addresses a distinct topic and is led by a different instructor, offering participants exposure to a range of advanced concepts, perspectives, and teaching approaches. While attendance at all six sessions is not mandatory, the content is intentionally structured to build progressively, and participants are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible to gain the greatest benefit.


Geared toward experienced and emerging professional artists with limited time, this program emphasizes clarity, efficiency, and practical application. Rather than introductory skill-building, the sessions provide a condensed yet rigorous overview of core artistic, conceptual, and professional considerations—supporting artists in refining their practice, expanding their understanding, and making informed decisions in their creative work.
