2025 Summer Workshop Program

Autumn Wallace Start Making Sense: Become the artist you want to see in the world July 13 to July 18, 2025 Time 9 am - 12 pm Discipline: Multimedia Open To All On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

Escape the confines of self-doubt as you free yourself from your worst critic–you. Learn to channel personal thoughts and emotions into uninhibited drawings without feeling exposed. In this workshop, participants will begin by examining their unexplained loves, dislikes, and guilty pleasures to really get to know themselves. You will then use this discovery to create a series of preliminary drawings. By the end of the week, with feedback and assistance from me, you will gain the ability to express this newfound intimacy with yourself in one final piece inspired by the journey. Walk away with a greater confidence in your perspective and invaluable skills to craft responsive, self-judgment-free work.

Biography

Autumn Wallace (b. 1996, Philadelphia, PA) graduated from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in 2018. Wallace is a cross-disciplinary artist whose work examines myth, gender, sexuality and the black femme experience. Their work draws on a diverse range of material and research including early 90’s cartoons, Byzantine aesthetics, “low-quality adult materials”, anthropology and zoology, crafting unique stories and characters which re-occur and evolve throughout their practice. Through this eclectic methodology, Wallace creates alternative narratives which facilitate entryways for excluded voices.
