What happens when art, ecology, and curiosity meet?

Coastal Conversations is an evolving series of studio gatherings exploring connections between art, creativity, place, and different ways of seeing the world.

Our first gathering, Between Tide and Paper, is created in collaboration with ecologist/artist Emily Gottlieb.
Together, we will explore the coastal environment through seaweed pressing, observation, conversation, and creative making.

Rather than a traditional class or lecture, Coastal Conversations is an open space for sharing perspectives, asking questions, and exploring what can emerge when different ways of knowing come together.

Through hands-on experimentation and conversation, we will consider how paying attention to the natural world can inspire new ideas, creative processes, and ways of seeing our surroundings.

Whether you are an artist, educator, scientist, student, nature lover, or simply curious, you are welcome to join us.
