Part 1: Distinct and Diverse. A Discussion on the Artists Journey.

Have you ever felt the magnetic pull towards the unknown realms of creativity, while the familiar clutches at your sleeves? That's where you'll find us in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, ensconced in the James Baird Gallery's artist residency. Our latest gathering will come to you in 2 parts, minus the dearly missed Nathan Terbord, his spirit ever-present, delves into the heart of artistic innovation. Through a melding of voices—from the cobblestoned streets of Spain to the hustle of Philadelphia—we unravel the threads of comfort and courage that bind every artist's journey.

Think scarcity stifles creativity? Think again! We challenge the more-is-better mindset as we celebrate the ingenuity and the power of creativity under constraint. We cover quotes from Louise Bourgeois, Agnes Martin, Dave Adey, Mark Rothko, Eva Hesse, Jerry Saltz, and Ursula von Rydingsvard. It's a call to arms for artists to embrace vulnerability and authenticity, to create not for applause but for the sheer necessity of expression.

Our session wraps with a reflection on personal growth and its indelible mark on our craft. So refill your glass and settle in for an extended session of heartfelt artistic camaraderie, where the lessons shared promise to resonate with your creative spirit and perhaps even light the path for your next breakthrough.
