How to put a finish to Artstudents once and for all

Ray Bradbury once said, “I’m not in control of my Muse. My Muse does all the work.” William S. Burroughs took it even farther in recommending, “Cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can’t fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal.”

Our artists have one non-negotiable condition to take part in this Quarantine: they simply refuse to be guides on a tour that shows participants how to paint as they do, as if leading a flock of art-world tourists.

Their courage involves conveying everything else on this delightfully uncertain voyage: philosophy, motivation, initiative, dignity, discomfort, euphoria, coherence, disappointment, courage, discipline, tears, challenges, connection, work ethic, decision making… ultimately, the trial of living a life that is genuinely committed to Art.

The artists will share their experiences from multiple perspectives and will discuss why they paint and how they experience painting. Throughout the week, the mentor you choose will pose various challenges to pulverize the student in you.

Because at some point, my friend, you will have to stop studying Art and start creating it… Why seek comfort if it delivers no feeling?

Welcome to Quarantine.
