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 the Ives Squared patio 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.
