Paid Opportunity – Community Workshop!

As part of Materiality in Sculpture: A Dialogue Between Substance and Form, CSI is offering a paid opportunity for one exhibiting artist to design and lead a community-engaging workshop that connects to the exhibition’s theme. This is a chance to extend your artistic practice into a public-facing format, fostering dialogue, creativity, and participation.

Workshops can take many forms—hands-on art-making, demonstrations, collaborative sculpture, found-object assemblage, or guided discussions exploring material culture and meaning. We welcome innovative proposals that make the concept of materiality accessible and resonant for a wide audience, including youth, families, or adults with varying levels of artistic experience.

Perks:

·      $350 stipend from CSI

·      Materials donated by Blick Art Supply

·      Location: EAC classroom next to the gallery site

·      EAC will help coordinate logistics, space, and promotion.

Dates:

·      Deadline: Friday, August 29th, 2025 – or any time sooner! 

·      Workshop date is up to you!  Weekends are best as families might attend.

To be considered:

· Indicate your interest in the workshop opportunity within your application.

· Include a brief proposal (1–2 paragraphs) describing your workshop concept:

o   Workshop title

o   What will participants do or learn

o   Duration of the workshop ( 1-2 hours)

o   Needed materials and estimated cost

o   How does it relate to your own work or the theme of Materiality in Sculpture?

This is an exciting way to engage the community and share the material curiosity behind your own work. We encourage bold, thoughtful, and inclusive ideas.

If interested, please send a word doc including the above information.
