As part of the Travelling Mentor Program, CARFAC SASK and Moosomin Visual Art Centre are pleased to present the following:

MVAC’s Open Studio Program

Featuring Conversations About Your Art with Rob Froese

Sunday June 16, 2024
from 1pm-5pm
Hosted in-person at the Moosomin Visual Art Centre

CARFAC SASK and MVAC are pleased to combine MVAC’s Open Studio program, which supplies artists in the community with free bi-weekly art-making facilities, together with CARFAC SASK’s program: Conversations About Your Art, a series of artistic feedback opportunities for anyone wishing to engage in constructive critique and receive guidance about their art. These sessions are facilitated by CARFAC SASK’s 2023-2024 Travelling Mentor: Rob Froese who brings with him extensive experience and enthusiasm towards artists at every stage of their career.

REGISTRATION
By nature of MVAC’s Open Studio operating as a drop-in program, there will be no formal registration for this edition of Conversations About Your Art. Travelling Mentor: Rob Froese will be present to engage in informal conversation and respond to requests for feedback by artists attending MVAC’s Open Studio. Don’t be shy to introduce yourself and be mindful of sharing time with your fellow-artists.

ABOUT ROB FROESE
Raised in Saskatchewan, Rob’s ceramic practice has been strongly influenced by 15 years of making and exhibiting in Japan. Since 2015, he has produced work and taught out of a Saskatoon studio, Medalta International Artists in Residence, Medicine Hat, and the Alberta University of the Arts in Calgary, where he is a Sessional Ceramics Faculty member. His work is informed by an art centred upbringing, travel and work experiences in Canada, Mexico, Europe and Southeast Asia, and formal art studies at the University of Saskatchewan (BA), University of Regina (BFA), and Alberta University of the Arts (MFA Craft Media). Rob’s ceramic work employs a growing variety of clay bodies, forming techniques, and diverse kiln firing methods. Learn more at: robfroese.com
