Join CIR Nadine Nelson and a guest artist as they work on creative projects. You're invited to watch, ask questions and discuss creativity.
Each week during Wednesday office hours, Creative in Residence Nadine Nelson will use MakeHaven as her studio space to work on a variety of projects for her installations and social sculptures. Simultaneously, another artist and/or creative will be creating in their own space on their own project. You are invited to be a voyeur on both artist’s processes and also ask questions about your artistic and creative ventures. Creative engagement is an interactive and relational activity that creates community together. This event is being held in partnership with MakeHaven.
