Get matched →A four-week online program presented by Kolaj Institute inviting self-motivated artists at any career stage, over 21 and from anywhere in the world, to research and make art about the Mississippi River and its histories and cultural meanings. Through interactive sessions, collections research, presentations, discussion, and collaborative collage making, participants will explore their artistic process, present a slideshow of their work, and receive supportive critical and curatorial feedback.
The Lab considers the River as a cultural force and examines questions of movement, history, power, economics, social and environmental issues, and how artists use material to shape a narrative. Historical subjects include 19th-century steamboat racing and the Great Flood of 1927. Sessions will address appropriation, copyright, and fair use, and develop strategies for making, exhibiting, and publishing collage art that speaks to a sense of place and history.
Artists are expected to attend all scheduled sessions and complete assignments.
$600 USD per artist; a limited number of grants is available to offset the fee.
