This 3 hour workshop will give participants an introduction to using maps in collage and mixed-media art by looking at the work of other artists and by creating work of their own. Through quick exercises focusing on both the geographical context and the design elements of maps, they will discover how to use them as source material for both abstract and representational work. No previous collage experience is necessary.

Participants should bring scissors and/or Xacto knife; cutting board (or cardboard); glue stick; tape; Bristol paper/cardstock/anything similar; pencils/pens. Participants are welcome to bring maps, atlases, etc. that they are willing to cut up, but the instructor will provide plenty

This Memorial Day join Babes & Bois for a Sapphic Sip & Draw at twilight in the Hawthorne Barn. Wine aficionado, Carmen da Silva, will be pouring a selection of female produced wines while attendees enjoy an open form life drawing session inspired by a series of short and long poses by seasoned life drawing model, Sam Sewell. Please bring your own drawing materials.

"The female form, like a really good bottle of wine, is absolutely breath-taking." 

Carmen da Silva (she/her/they/them) is a natural wine nerd and WSET-educated former wine shop manager. Her passion for wine grew from a decade of extensive dining research in New York City, in part required for her role as a Les Clefs d'Or Concierge at the Soho Grand Hotel and for the deeper outer borough research of her self-published guidebook to Brooklyn. Over the last year Carmen and her partner Sam Sewell founded Babes & Bois, a marketing and event production company helping to create more space and events for the "queer and Sapphically-inclined". 

Sam Sewell (gender playful) is a seasoned life drawing model with 4+ years experience working weekly with PAAM, Truro Center for the Arts, FAWC and several Gallerists from Provincetown to Wellfleet. Sam holds a Masters in Design & Production from the California Institute of the Arts and Bachelors in Music Industry from Northeastern University.

A Site Specific Milk Tea Opera House Session

‘Milk Tea Opera House’ is an initiative to create opportunities to influence more voices, to awaken them, and to guide them. It is vital to be able to experience more voices and together we ask this question: Where does voice come from, and how does it represent you?

JU-EH would like to create a live Milk Tea Opera House Session, along with Twenty Summers, to co-create new kinds of interactive spaces from where the voice is born, redefining the term ‘opera house’ for the next 100 years.

The main practice of an MTOH Session will focus on the human voice, and exercise how we use the voice internally in different dimensions. Not the finished flawless performances of an opera singer, but the internal handling of the voice in a much wider spectrum.

With this knowledge that JU-EH has lived, studied, and embodied for decades, it is time to collaborate to reveal the depth of our sonic environments, and the image of voice in various daily activities to a wider creative community.
