Goals

It was good to see everyone that turned out yesterday. I think we accomplished what we set out to (becoming more familiar with what page each other is on with their individual work).

Before I leave town tomorrow, I wanted to put down in writing Karen's timely suggestion that we start making goals for the group. I was wondering if everyone would be okay making those goal suggestions here so that by the time we meet in person over the next 2 months we know what's on the table for discussion.

I mentioned last night that I will not be in town from tomorrow until Jan 3, so I will miss the December meeting, but i can participate in group discussion via the blog during that time provided that everyone agrees with using this format for the above topic.

More specific questions: What will be our primary professional initiative? Will it take the form of an exhibition? if not, what would we each like to see as our first professional step as a group?

Talk to everyone soon hopefully.

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.
