Artists in Conversation

We welcome artists and
designers at any career stage to come together in-person for informal
discussions with fellow artists about works on view in the galleries. Get to
know other local makers in a supportive environment.

Led by
artist-facilitator Gabrielle Banks, the workshop will include guided
conversations, close looking, and exercises for reflection to explore processes
of translation, conversion, and reclamation of imagery. Together, we will
explore and discuss artistic choices, art historical references, and
contemporary exhibition themes.

Gabrielle
Banks was born in Nassau, Bahamas. She received her BFA in Painting from the
Rhode Island School of Design with a completed semester in the Independent
Studio Program at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, England. Gabrielle
has exhibited in the National Art Gallery
of the Bahamas, including her solo show “The Mark of a Woman” and most recent participation
in the NE10 Exhibition “MERCY”. She has contributed work to the first all-female auction
at Sotheby’s Auction House, “By Women, For Tomorrow’s Women”. Gabrielle has completed
fellowships at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont and Wassaic Project in
