Did you know that we have a group of NIAD artists that plan and strategize weekly about the future of the Art Center? We do. They’re call the Artist Advisory Committee?

On Zoom, this week, the Artist Advisory Committee ran deep: artists noted the difficulty of confronting this moment without the usual supports of the studio, the need for some things to continue as normal, and — in a relatively short time for such a large group of collaborating artists — NIAD’s studio artists began to innovate new studio offerings to access online.

The coming weeks will see a Spanish language practice hour, a wrestling-themed collaboration meetup, zine-making, and mail art.

As one of the committee members noted, “…(H)ow long is this gonna last?”
