I Am A Placemaker

Creative placemaking evokes shared emotions.

Art experiences can transform peoples’ perception of being different into a recognition of being the same, as humans. This inspires mutual trust and understanding, unifying and strengthening community identity and pride.

Post-Disciplinary

I was recently reading an artist statement, where the artist described themselves as post-disciplinary.

Huh? I had to look it up…

Post-disciplinary focuses on the institutional aspects of academia and rejects the need for an organizational division of disciplines.

As a self taught artist, without an MFA, I guess that makes me post-disciplinary too.
