The Wilson Artists’ Group explores Chicago Artists Month’s theme: “Artful Networks.”
October presentation highlights the value of community and interaction among artists
July 17, 2011, Chicago. The painters of the Wilson Artists’ Group have long thought of themselves as an “Artful Network,” so the Chicago Artists’ Month 2011 theme feels tailor-made for them. During the month of October they will present “Painting Together – How We Grow as Artists,” an exhibition of work and three artist talks, all open to the public. The exhibition will consist of work by all ten members of the Group. Also, Ann Ponce will discuss how an artist critiques a painting, Meredith Dytch will discuss how her growth as an artist has been dependent on painting with, and learning from, her fellow artists , and Patricia Larkin Green will talk about the value of being part of an artistic community. Ms. Ponce says, “We want to demonstrate how beneficial it is for artists to work together, using our own group as an example.”
The events will be held at the Ann Ponce Studio, 1819 W. Wilson Avenue, Chicago. The schedule is:
Saturday, Oct. 8th, 10:00 am. - 5:00 pm, Exhibition
1:00 – 1:30 pm, Talk by Meredith Dytch: “An Unconventional Education – How I Expanded my Horizons and Grew as an Artist.” The artist will be available afterward for questions. Light refreshments will be served.
