Responding to Environment with Dr Betty Sargeant

Event Date: Sat 04 Mar

Event Time: 10:30AM - 1:30PM

Event Location: Art Studio

Event Type: Workshops

Participants with a creative practice are invited to join Experimenta Life Forms artist Dr Betty Sargeant for an exciting artist workshop that focuses on helping you develop new artwork ideas that operate in dialogue with surrounding environments. 

Bring your brightest and most adventurous new art ideas and concepts to discuss and evolve with the artist and other participants. You can join in whether or not you have a concept in mind.  

Using The Riddoch Arts and Cultural Centre as a site-specific framework, the artist will step participants through the process of developing and presenting any artwork, including those designed for galleries or site-specific locations.

In this three-hour session participants will learn about the material relationships that emerge between artwork and environment, how to respond to and give back to the environment you are working in and how to evolve a concept that speaks to place.   

Free event.

Suitable for ages 16+.

Please call The Riddoch on 8721 2563 to book your place (please note: bookings are not taken through social media).

Presented as part of Experimenta Life Forms.
