Art Circle SIG:
Exclusive Visit to Joshua King's Studio
Join us
for an exclusive visit to the studio of Joshua King, Aurora Co-Founder and Executive Director.
Aurora is dedicated to inspiring a more accessible future of art and technology by supporting the voices of today’s artists and connecting diverse communities through transformative public art experiences. While the Aurora Biennial is a large-scale public art event, our visit will focus on the artists’ studios, separate from the Biennial itself.
During this event, Joshua will provide insights into the upcoming Aurora Project and its mission, and then give us a tour of the studio where local and international artists work on their large-scale projects. This visit offers a unique behind-the-scenes look into the creative process that shapes these impactful works of art.
Please RSVP early to secure your spot. We look forward to an inspiring morning and hope you can join us!
