Area Meeting with Adriana Arriaga

Area Meeting is an open forum where the local creative community can gather to explore the meaning behind art and the processes driving it. Lead facilitator Patrick Melroy sparks discussion with showcased artists as a rally point for the creatives in our community. An excuse for us to be in the same place, a place which will inspire the right kind of imaginative friction. The first part of the evening is an interview-style discussion with a keynote artist.  After a social break fueled by snacks, invited artists will present work in a supportive crit-style environment.​

Area Meeting is for anyone who has ever read a wall placard at a gallery and found themselves with more questions than answers. Area Meeting is for the artist who needs to hear from other artists about the struggle, about the broken tools, the constant haunting of a studio space by specters of doubt and conflict as they battle to be heard through their work.

​We welcome Adriana Arriaga as our keynote for this event.

​Area Meeting is a Program organized and run by the Arts Collaborative.
