Start the year with clarity, focus, and a revitalized sense of purpose. Research shows that people who define their intentions and align them with meaningful goals achieve more—and feel more fulfilled while doing it. In this interactive workshop, you’ll take time to reflect on what truly matters to you, assess your current intentions, and articulate goals that support your artistic and personal growth. Through guided exercises, you’ll break those goals into practical, manageable steps that you can put into action right away. We’ll also engage in supportive group discussion to identify potential obstacles and brainstorm solutions, helping you build a realistic and inspiring plan for success. You’ll leave with a clearer vision, renewed motivation, and tools to keep you moving forward throughout the year. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

The group exhibition features UC San Diego Visual Arts MFA students in their final year. Participating artists: Jamil Baldwin, Rahul Basu, Sophia Cleary, Walker Hewitt, Izzai Martinez Angulo, Aambr Newsome, erika roos, Andrew Wharton The impulse to find meaning in the way an object or image is displayed or housed within a framing structure or device, speaks of our capacity to envision something as whole, in order to understand its context and connect with it. By intervening the frame itself, or that which contains, holds, or supports their images, the artists in this exhibition approach image- and object-making by courageously reversing the value-system of the gaze and reflecting it back acknowledging its implicit performativity. Working across film/video, painting, photography, and sculpture, the cohort’s individual conceptual practices seize the function of the frame to make whole and heal the hauntings of the layered detritus that remains after ritual and life itself.
