Masterclass with Nato Thompson
An Independent Study Program in Artistic Practice and Inquiry
This five-month Independent Study Program is a masterclass with curator and writer Nato Thompson, created for artists who want to think seriously about their work and its place in the world. Meeting every two weeks, the group becomes a space to reflect, exchange, and push artistic practice forward through conversation about what it means to make art amid the realities of contemporary life: money, time, care, exhaustion, and belief. This is a space for both reflection and growth. It looks at artistic development not as career management but as the long work of building clarity, conviction, and imagination inside your practice. The cohort meets bi-weekly over the course of 5- months.
