Sustaining Practices: A Conversation About Sustainability in the Arts

Sustaining Practices is a conversation between Omar Buenaventura (2022-2023 recipient of the DVAA + NextFab Residency), Michael Ferrin (2023 recipient of The Museum for Art in Wood’s Winter Residency), Kate Leibrand (Interdisciplinary Artist utilizing sustainable materials), and Holly Logan (Co-Founder of the Philly Fixers Guild). This conversation, moderated by DVAA Co-Executive Director, Samantha M. Connors, will provide insight into each panelist’s specific relationship with sustainable practice and materials – how they source it, how they manipulate it, and its ultimate form. There will be time for a Q&A during the conversation where the audience is encouraged to ask questions of each panelist and each other related to the topic. This event is presented in partnership with the Everyday Futures Fest, a month-long art and sustainability festival that includes all-ages programming throughout Philadelphia during the entire month of April. For a complete list of events, please visit the www.EverydayFuturesFest.org website.

Admission is free and open to the public. Light drinks and refreshments will be served.
