Artist at Work program began in 2006 as a means of connecting local and regional artists with visiting artists whose work is featured in SAC exhibitions or films.
Artist gatherings in a variety of venues allow national and international artists to share and discuss professional development strategies of interest to working artists, as well as to those who work with artists. Topics such as exhibition proposals, promotion, effective work habits, and overcoming limitations imposed by geographic location are addressed during studio visits, small workshops, and interactive public presentations.
Visiting artists who have participated in this aspect of the Artist at Work program:
textile artist: Hildur Bjarnadóttir of Reykjavik, Iceland – October 2006
video artist: Luis Guispert of New York – March 2007
photographer: Melissa Ann Pinney of Chicago – June 2007
installation artist: Mark Dion of Beach Lake PA – March 2008
We have expanded the Artist at Work program to provide opportunities for utilization of the SAC Warehouse by artists who need temporary access to a large workspace.
The Salina Art Center’s Artist at Work program is made possible in part the Warhol Initiative program of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc., and the Salina Art Center’s Art@theCenter Artist Initiative campaign donors.
