Ahead of this year’s project, I’m so excited to share the results from last year’s “Collaborative Community Canvas”—a second iteration of an invitation to create in a shared site, hosted as part of Yale School of Art’s Open Studios.
In its second year, 2023, I added a paper wall to exist alongside the canvas one, and stretched snippets of last year’s canvas as take-aways in a gesture of “leave a drawing, take a drawing.”
What does it mean to create collectively? How can I use this project to gesture further towards a sense of generative non-ownership?
Excited to explore further this year! Join us at the 1156 Chapel Street this weekend to take home parts of last year’s wall and contribute towards next year’s community offerings.
