Every month WSW hosts Slide Night, where we hear f Every month WSW hosts Slide Night, where we hear from current artists-in-residence about their work. Join us next Tuesday (10/15) at 5:30PM for the first Slide Night of this Artist in Residency season! We’ll be hearing from Macon Reed (@macon_reed_studio) and Charlie Bloede (@charlieroseprints)! (Slide 1) Macon Reed is on-site as our Art-in-Ed Artist’s Book Residency Grant recipient working with silkscreen for their book “SINGLE MOTHER GROCERY/ THE PAUSE APOTHECARY.” (Slide 2) Charlie Bloede is on-site as our Art-in-Ed Workspace Residency recipient, using her time at WSW working with intaglio and collagraph prints. We have also slightly changed the timing of our Slide Nights: moving forward, Slide Night will begin at 5:30PM instead of 6PM to help everyone get home before it gets too dark. We hope this change allows you to come hear from our talented artists this season!
