Perpetual Calendar Collaborative Design Workshop

Perpetual Calendar Collaborative Design Workshop

This workshop will provide a framework for procedural art making, and encourage skill sharing within the collaborative design process. Bring your own expertise and help us decorate Still Life Studios with a perpetual calendar. 

A perpetual calendar is a catalogued delineation of time that doesn’t expire at the end of the Gregorian year. There are fourteen different configurations of the calendar year, and we are producing all fourteen of them in one site-specific installation for the studio space. Artist in Residence, Luc Grenier, is facilitating a collaborative design workshop at Still Life Studios in three weekly sessions where we will be cooperatively exploring how we ritualize and account for the passing of time. Join us for all three, or come whenever you can.

Week 1: Collaborative design session and project proposal

Collage a Record for World Collage Day
May
9

Collage a Record for World Collage Day

Collage as a way of living by Regan Golden in MARCH (a journal of art & strategy): “From an alternative perspective, collage is not merely a visual art technique, but a method of living, thinking, and navigating a fractured world. It is a way to embrace chance and combine disparate, found elements to create a new, often unexpected, meaning” (Golden, 2021). Come collage on a vinyl record in honor of World Collage Day. Join collage artists Missy Arellano & Emily Caufield for an evening full of cutting, pasting, and vinyl sounds. Sift through vintage magazines and archives of music ephemera to create your very own vinyl record art. Help us celebrate collage as a way of living! This event is open to everyone, but is geared toward 18+.

The Single Frame (Re-Offering)
May
13

The Single Frame (Re-Offering)

The Single Frame is an experiment in attention.

In this workshop we will make just one photograph. Rather than chasing many images, we’ll slow down and work with attention, observation, and the body in space.

Through a series of simple exercises, we’ll practice ways of seeing: waiting, noticing, and making contact with the environment around us.

The goal isn’t to produce a “great” photo. It’s to experience what happens when we inhabit a moment long enough for a single frame to emerge.

Participants will make one image and reflect on the process of making it as well as leave with a different relationship to the act of photographing.

Capacity is limited to 4 participants.

Note: A mobile phone with a camera is needed for participation.

Community Collage - An Experiment in Collective Seeing

Community Collage
An experiment in collective seeing

What are we noticing these days?

This is an open invitation to community to share a small set of photos from your everyday life. Nothing staged or perfect, just what’s been catching your eye.

You might look through your existing phone camera roll, or take new photos in the coming days. You’ll choose 3–8 images that stand out to you. A short set of prompts is available as a guide, but you’re welcome to follow what feels right to you.

All submitted images will be gathered and viewed together at the event. We’ll work with them in real time - arranging, responding, and building a collective collage from what emerges, marking an accumulation of our shared attention.

Submitting images takes about 5 minutes, and all contributions are anonymous.

Participation is open to all. You are welcome to submit images for inclusion in the collective collage, or attend the in-person gathering without submitting work. Tickets are for the in-person gathering. Submitted images will be printed and materials provided.

The Artist’s Way: A 12-Week Creative Accountability Group (April 13–July 6)

Session runs April 6–June 29 2026. Led by Sasha Patkin.

Rediscover your creative self this winter with a guided accountability group based on The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan — the beloved 12-week program for unblocking and nurturing creativity.

Part book club, part creative support circle, this group will journey through the book together, following its weekly readings, exercises, and reflections to awaken creative confidence and play. Participants will connect through a moderated group chat to share progress, insights, encouragement, and challenges, and will have opportunities for virtual co-working sessions - such as writing Morning Pages together - to keep the momentum going.

Participants are strongly encouraged to attend the four in-person sessions at the start of each four-week mark, and will also have the option of meeting every Monday night for the duration of the course either in person at the studio or through Zoom to discuss weekly progress and insights.

Whether you’re an artist, writer, or someone who simply feels the pull toward a more creative life, this group is open to all - beginners, seasoned practitioners, and those returning to The Artist’s Way alike.

Join us to connect, create, and hold yourself lovingly accountable to your creative growth.

Part book club, part creative support circle, this group will journey through the book together, following its weekly readings, exercises, and reflections to awaken creative confidence and play. Participants will connect through a moderated group chat to share progress, insights, encouragement, and challenges, and will have opportunities for virtual co-working sessions - such as writing Morning Pages together - to keep the momentum going.

Participants are strongly encouraged to attend the four in-person sessions at the start of each four-week mark, and will also have the option of meeting every Monday night for the duration of the course either in person at the studio or through Zoom to discuss weekly progress and insights.

Whether you’re an artist, writer, or someone who simply feels the pull toward a more creative life, this group is open to all - beginners, seasoned practitioners, and those returning to The Artist’s Way alike.

Join us to connect, create, and hold yourself lovingly accountable to your creative growth.
