About
2 pm: Studio tour with Immy Mellin, LBP resident artist
3 pm: Panel discussion
For centuries, artists have relied on community resources and shared workshop spaces to create. This afternoon of studio viewing and discussion showcases how the place and context in which artists make art interconnects with the work itself. At 2 pm, LBP resident artist Immy Mellin takes us on a tour of his studio. At 3 pm, artist duo Derric Clemmons and Luz Castillo along with sculptors Jason Middlebrook and Milton Mizenberg explain how their creative collaborations with art institutions and community spaces have influenced their work. This discussion is moderated by Heidi Hickman, program director at LBP.
