SPARKPLUG MEETING ON OCTOBER 14

Meet at DCAC at 6:45 PM on Sunday October 14th. Right now plans are to meet in the gallery. Help with setting up a table and chairs will be greatly appreciated. If you feel like bringing something to share, I'm sure refreshments would also be appreciated, but not required.

4 points for discusion:

WHERE to meet and do we set a regular schedule,

WOULD you mind filling out a survey, that way we can get a more quantifiable idea of the skills that are being brought to Sparkplug and what interests people are coming to Sparkplug to develop collectively,

HOW do we begin to develop the IDEAS that will hold together a collective of people, their respective art work and an eventual exhibition. SUGGESTION: Please write down one idea you have for collectively generating ideas,

AGENDA ideas for the next meeting

What is DCAC's Sparkplug?

Currently composed of eight DC area artists and curators, DCAC's SPARKPLUG meets regularly to discuss their work, explore common concerns, grow their community and dream up creative engagements both in DC and around the world. Through its support of Sparkplug, DC Arts Center provides meeting space, legal and technical resources and exhibition opportunities to emerging artists, curators and arts writers without current gallery representation or institutional employ. Via a continuing dialogue encompassing the theoretical and the practical, the group’s members share experiences, perspectives, preoccupations, challenges, and topics informing their ongoing artistic practice.

The goal of DCAC's SPARKPLUG is to identify superior artists, curators and arts writers without current gallery representation or institutional employ, provide an environment to help foster their development, provide legal, technical and other resources, and provide opportunities for them to exhibit both in DC and around the country.

DCAC's SPARKPLUG will actively seek its membership from all communities in the Washington, DC region with the goal of bringing together emerging artists and curators with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, a diversity of professional preoccupations and creative visions.
