8x8x8

SPACES is pleased to announce 8x8x8, an event that challenges artists in our region to hone their skills at discussing their work. For the fourth year in a row, we're bolstering critical dialogue centered around the visual arts AND helping local artists with their professional development.

This fast-paced event turns the SPACES Mistake Lab into a round-robin for 8 artists to interact in quick, 8 minute succession with 8 art professionals. At the start of each 8 minute pairing, the artist will give an elevator pitch about their work and then the art professional will give feedback and ask the artist follow up questions. Once the whistle blows, the artists move to the next art pro and begin the pitch again, with each pitch getting easier and more refined.

Participating Art Pros:

Kristin Rogers (The Progressive Art Collection)
Marie Bukowski (Kent State University, School of Art)
Sarah Kabot (Cleveland Institute of Art)
Hector Castellanos-Lara (Artist and Community Activist)
Pipo Nguyen-Duy (Oberlin Collage)
Bean Gilsdorf (SPACES Art Writer in Residence)
Christina Vassallo (SPACES)
Ivan Kende (Art on Madison)
