The first 3 days of CREATION RITUAL have been great! The figure in the window is making progress and I’ve had great company thus far! Thanks to @joearobles for bringing some wonderful music, @monstrochika for trading my one of her little bird prints, and @berwynpublicart for providing great space for this residency!

Hey all! I am very excited to announce CREATION RITUAL, an art residency/ live making project at BE Pop Up Space in Berwyn, IL (6816 Windsor Ave.) This creative endeavor has been made possible by the lovely @anomaly_plain as well as @berwynpublicart Week 1 (6/17 -6/23) will offer a glimpse into the process of an improvised window display piece as well as a showcase of other pre-made works. Week 2 (6/24-6/30) will be a chance for the public to more directly respond to the work and create or recreate based on their own observations. Hours for the project are on the poster. Hope to see you in the real world. All the best 🌞🙏🏽💌 #art #berwynillinois #creation #BEpopupspace #ritual #making #artwork #process #public #community #graphic #bold #pattern #design #shape #form #color #atlanaw
