PANEL DISCUSSIONS

Join us for The Artist’s Why, a panel discussion exploring the motivations behind creative journeys. The event is hosted by Chalice Meikle at Arts Plus at 7 PM on the last Friday of each month. This program aligns with Activation Studios’ Open Studio nights, fostering creativity and connection. Ms. Meikle curates a dynamic panel of three diverse artists each month, embodying varying ages, backgrounds, and disciplines. Through crafted questions, she invites them to share their "why"—the passions fueling their creative pursuits—inspiring a deeper understanding of artistic drives.
