THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF WRITING ABOUT YOUR ART
Tuesday, July 12 at 7pm following the Zoom NCWCA chapter meeting
At the July NCWCA meeting, Cynthia Brannvall will give a presentation on best practices for writing about your art in a general artist statement that can be tailored to individual works and/or exhibition submissions. She will address the elements to include when writing about your art: subject matter, composition, and formal elements, as well as considerations of meaning: the artist's intention, a viewer's perception, materials, context, and the integrity of your artist's statement to the work.
Cynthia Brannvall is an art historian and a multimedia artist who teaches art history as a full time faculty member of Foothill Community College. She is a California native of African American and Swedish descent. Cynthia has undergraduate degrees in Art Practice and Art History from UC Berkeley where she was a Phi Beta Kappa and a Ronald E. McNair scholar and was awarded the Departmental Citation for her research in Art History. She has an MA in Art History from San Francisco State University with an emphasis on Modern and Contemporary art. An advocate and ally for social justice and equity, Cynthia’s artwork explores identity formation envisioned in an imagined deep time terrain of memory, reclamation, and the geographies of forced and voluntary migrations of body and spirit. Her artwork has been selected for juried group exhibitions in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Washington DC. Cynthia has been selected for the 2022-2023 Emerging Artists Program at the Museum of African Diaspora in San Francisco and recently had her first solo exhibition there this spring.
All members will receive a Zoom link for this presentation in July.

NCWCA CASUAL CONNECTIONS
|
Thursday July 14 6:30 - 7:30 PM Pacific Daylight Time
Join us in July for a virtual get-together! Drop in from 6:30 to 7:30 pm and catch up with fellow members on a wide range of topics. In June our conversation covered tips on shipping artwork, responding to unsolicited exhibition or catalog opportunities, and SEO optimization. Who knows what our July conversation will cover? Casual Connections doesn't have a formal agenda other than providing space for long time and new members to get to know each other, ask questions, and share tips. Casual Connections alternate between 6:30 - 7:30 PM and 12 - 1 pm to accommodate the varying schedules of members. This monthly event is exclusively for NCWCA members. You will be provided with a Zoom link prior to the get-together. |
