Tools for the Creative Life – Behind the Scenes: An Artist Spotlight with Moe Gram

How do creatives find and get residencies? How do you balance your day job and creative practice? Interdisciplinary artist, Moe Gram will share her journey as an artist, talk about balancing an art admin career and studio practice, getting residencies, and her most recent residency abroad through the La Napoule Art Foundation. Join an engaging game led by Moe where the audience will create new languages to become poets and storytellers through the use of found objects, children’s toys, fabrics, and patterns.
