Who we are…
The Woolfer Fine Arts Lab is a virtual support group designed to help creatives unite. We are a community offering accountability, friendship and purpose. We share ideas and challenges, explore new disciplines, discuss techniques, and more.
The Visual Arts Lab is not an online class and there is no curriculum. We have professional artists, artists who are seeking to segue into new disciplines, beginning artists, creative curious, and everything in between. All are welcome.
Not complicated…
The group meets twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1pm PST and 4pm EST. On each day, we catch up, meet new participants, look at their work and/or hear their story, and if possible have a short studio visit.
Then we stop talking and start making art. The audio is muted, but video on and the artists can work off camera or on camera. After one hour, we can take a break and share progress if desired or others may prefer to keep working.
There are no rules…
We work together, or we work alone, but we share the company of others. There are no attendance requirements, no roll-call and no pressure to attend events.
Once a week or every other week…
Some artists need direction. As moderator, I will suggest an assignment for outside class. Doing the assignment is entirely optional.
Special events…
Other special events will feature individual and group tutorials, live figure drawing class, virtual supportive critique day, and visits to storefront galleries. There will also be a sign-up to livestream to group as well as invitations to well-known artists, gallery owners, and art critics to lecture and livestream with us. We will eventually explore art as a business, from social media promotion to selling art online, to curating, artist residencies, grant writing, licensing for product and launching artist run galleries.
