Unfolding: an art writers group

The George Paton Gallery will host a fortnightly workshop series, Unfolding:, throughout Semester 2 for emerging art writers, critics and artists. Participants will respond to the theme "The State of the Arts", developing a new piece of writing for publication in a collection produced by the gallery at the end of the year. Besides the resulting publication of art and writing, the workshop also hopes to cultivate enduring connections between the participants and their practice.

Each workshop will include a space for discussing art writing and criticism, featuring collaborative writing exercises and opportunities for feedback, as well as dedicated time for participants to write towards their publication piece. The workshops will also feature sessions hosted by guest art writers.
