Event | Arts Services – Workshop Series

Work Sample Dos and Don’ts

Mar 24

In order to access funding, residencies and other professional opportunities, artists are often required to submit work samples for consideration. Who reviews work samples? How are they reviewed? How important is formatting? Cue points? Context? Our interactive workshop will cover these issues and provide a series of examples that will allow participants to judge for themselves whether a work sample is compelling and why.

This workshop is at capacity!

Access Restricted: “Re-presentations and Identities: Depicting Justice in Courts”

Apr 28

Featured speaker: Judith Resnik, Arthur Liman Professor of Law, Yale Law School

This discussion, based on the forthcoming book, Representing Justice: From Nascent City-States to Guantanamo Bay (by Judith Resnik and Dennis E. Curtis, Yale Press, 2010), will examine the deployment of images, across time and place, aiming to identify buildings as courts and courts as about justice. The setting will be one of the jewels of “The City Beautiful Movement,” an elaborately decorated courthouse, which is featured in Resnik’s book as one of the several sites in which early 20th-century choices of images prompted conflict, and in this case, the removal of one of the statues on the court’s rooftop.

Free RSVP required; reservations available on April 20 at 12PM
