APPROACHING PAINTING
Approaching Painting instigated opportunities for a group of artists to come together. CVAG’s collaborative curators invited painters; Scott Bertram, Nicole Crouch, Robert Moon, Carole Thompson, Madeleine Wood, along with a performance artist Cathy Coates and community facilitator Cedar Wasleskwi to share time, aesthetic processes, creative inquiry, and perceptual explorations over several months.
The thematic program Approaching Painting made space for interconnected elements that expanded notions of exhibition through residency, production, performance, community make art events, peer support, critique, experimentation and collaboration.
