Superior Pairings: Discussions on Contemporary Culture

 

Join us for an intriguing conversation between two art industry life partners and learn of their passion for drawing and building community.

Artists and curators Donald Fodness and Daisy Fodness-McGowanwill discuss how they launched their Drawing Never Dies project in 2016 as an expansive exhibition and how it defined drawing as a primal artistic act with a multitude of variables. 

Nearly ten years later, Drawing Never Dies has evolved into an artist residency program that is situated in a treehouse and as a publication, celebrates drawing as the most essential act of visual communication. Learn about the artist and curator duo and how this expansive and inclusive residency fosters creative exploration, connection, and personal growth through a celebration of visual art's most fundamental act: drawing.
