Our current exhibition, ‘Seating Assignment: Women in Contemporary Chairmaking and Craft Education,’ features 14 chairs by 15 contemporary women artists who specialize in furniture making and view education as a core component of their practice.
Come make the most of this first-of-its-kind exhibition with a sketching session in the gallery: "Take a Seat, Draw a Chair" hosted by artist Ella Coyne.
Inspired by Salem College students’ illustrations of chairs from the SIDE Chair Library, we hope this informal event will encourage deep-looking and playful illustrations.
Bring your own pencils and sketchbooks. Drawing benches and boards will be provided.
All levels of experience are welcome + registration open to the community! The event is free, with a $10 suggested donation.
After the sketching session, join Rebecca Juliette-Duex, exhibition curator and 2023 Gondring Resident in Woodworking for a Q + A and Exhibition Tour of Seating Assignment. 6 – 7pm
