CALL TO ARTISTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collage in Practice Workshop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A four-week, virtual\/online workshop with Kolaj Institute
Next Session: Sundays, 10-31 May 2026, 1-3PM EDT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Submissions are considered on a rolling basis.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The practice of collage takes on many forms. A practice will be shaped by the goals of the artist and what they want to achieve with their artwork, how they want to diffuse their artwork in the broader ecosystem of art. It will also be informed by the choice of material, scale, and subject matter. A collage practice is also informed by the history of artists who came before and how an artist chooses to be in dialogue or opposition with their creative ancestors. A working understanding of one\u2019s practice is critical to one\u2019s professional and artistic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intended as a clinic for working artists at any level, participants in this workshop will explore how they go about making art and putting it out into the world. How to set goals and manage one’s practice towards those goals. How to get your work seen. How to get an exhibition. How to create and maintain an inventory. How to identify and think about artist ancestors and how they influence our artwork. These are some of the challenges artists face when they want to take their art practice to the next level. Together, we will explore the difference between art as a hobby, profession, or vocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants will explore critical concepts and collage taxonomies as a way to develop and refine the language they use to talk about their own practice and to develop a broad view of the creative landscape in which they operate. How does choice of material inform how the artwork is exhibited? How does one speak about their process so that it is understood by other art professionals and the general public? How can one use art history to create a critical context for one\u2019s artwork? Topics include Collage Theory; Sourcing Materials, Copyright, Appropriation; Developing Materials; and Collage in Presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OUTCOME<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Participants will finish the workshop with a deeper understanding of their practice; a strong statement of practice that can be used to communicate with curators, editors, and art professionals; a portfolio of consistent artwork (or a plan to make one); and tools for growing or developing their practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collage in Practice is part of Kolaj Institute’s Artist Development Program, a collection of four core workshops for self-motivated artists, at any stage in their career, who want to develop and expand their collage-based artist practice and work towards professional goals, particularly in the areas of exhibitions and publishing. <\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
