SUMMARY:Co-Creative Sessions: Matt Mignanelli\, Artist
DESCRIPTION:Matt Mignanelli’s paintings are composed of gradated fields of blue\, gestural dissections\, and geometric forms inspired by light\, shadow\, and architectural elements. Informed by the urban landscape and vistas from the natural world these works examine the duality of modern life with emotional complexity. Mignanelli’s process combines incredibly detailed\, methodical hand-painting\, with references to utilitarian painting applications in municipal and industrial contexts\, abutted by fields of aqueous and luminescent color. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEqually important to Mignanelli’s practice is the examination of the potential and power of the monochrome. In particular\, his work embraces a deep saturation of the color blue. While at first glance the paintings appear transporting\, with stacks of brick-like forms set against the intense color of the enamel house paint\, further inspection reveals a thoughtful engagement with light and shadow\, depth and density\, and spatial perception. Through the use of enamel and the color blue which appears on mailboxes\, these functional uses of paint within the urban environment are continually referenced. Freely exploring permutations of form and recording the element of chance associated with my freehand process in organically accumulated splashes and drips of paint on the painting’s surface\, brings forth a sense of freedom. The spontaneity that emerges makes the paintings feel alive. \n\n\n\nCreating paintings within a strict set of parameters has defined Mignanelli’s project\, and is a pursuit of purity through thought and a constant evaluation of space and emotion. The works aspire to continue that investigation and push the understanding of what it means to visualize feelings in paint. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Creative Sessions is a free and accessible online series geared to enrich\, educate and connect creatives through a series of workshops and training sessions. New Bedford is the home of artists\, creatives\, change makers\, designers\, entrepreneurs and community enthusiasts and the Co-Creative Session embraces the pulse that makes New Bedford so unique while expanding our knowledge and connections! \n\n\n\nWith great thanks\, this program is funded and supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, New Bedford Economic Development Council and NB Creative. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP here

SUMMARY:Co-Creative Sessions: Passion to Profit: ARTepreneurs
DESCRIPTION:with Samia Walker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtists see possibilities everywhere. Monetizing talent\, however\, is a daunting task for an artist. At EforAll \, we recognize that creating a sustainable life in the arts is complicated\, that there is no singular approach to building a creative enterprise\, that it doesn’t happen quickly\, and that success has its roots in relationship-building. ARTrepreneurs are leaders in the creative economy. Their innovation powers the engine of growth and community vitality. ARTrepreneurs produce and distribute goods and services that generate jobs\, revenue\, and quality of life. Our mission is to ensure creatives have the knowledge and practical skills to have sustainable careers in our changing economic times. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Creative Sessions is a free and accessible online series geared to enrich\, educate and connect creatives through a series of workshops and training sessions.

If they are a pro surfer or snowboarder there is a good chance Scott has shot them shooting & working with such figures as Dave Rastovich\, John John Florence\, Travis Rice\, Bjorn Leins\, & Nicolus Mueller to name a few. However\, Scotts real passion is working with others helping them discover their innate & inner artist within.  \n\n\n\nScott is the real deal\, a beautiful person inside and out and we hope you join and enjoy all that he has to offer.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Creative Sessions is a free and accessible online series geared to enrich\, educate and connect creatives through a series of workshops and training sessions.

You must register in advance.After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the workshop.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThanks to our generous funders.
