It’s been way, way, WAY too long since we got together (pre-pandemic, to be precise), and our good friends at Typewriters Anonymous invite members of the extended Rhizomatic Arts family to a happy hour hangout in Glassell Park, Los Angeles.

A conversation with Kio Griffith, Kristine Schomaker, Stephanie Diamond, and Allison Wyper.

Entrepreneurs and artists alike create something new, responding to a need they see in the world. In both art practice and business practice, we are coming up with creative solutions, expertly executing them, and sharing them with our communities.

This panel convenes 4 artists who support their creative practice through entrepreneurial means, as independent business owners and/or creative freelancers. We invite a group discussion around art practice and entrepreneurship, asking what different shapes our artistic careers might take, and how we leverage our skills as artists to make an impact or fill a need outside the studio.

Rhizomatic Studio: Performance Lab is a forum led by Allison Wyper (Rhizomatic Arts) for developing works through the exchange of peer, artist-to-artist, feedback on new material over 3-weeks. The workshop culminates in a public showing at the Hammer Museum, a nexus for artist-centered exhibitions and programs on the west side of Los Angeles.
