What Works Wednesdays

What Works Wednesdays was a series of artist-to-artist conversations to engage artists in dialogue and meal sharing. The evening events included a pot of soup (always a new and shared recipe), artist presentations around a given theme, and a peer-to-peer discussion. These events were free for attendees. Ideas and experiences were shared. Magic happened.

Artists were given a theme to inspire a 5-10 minute presentation around their work and experience. Two artists presented at the events. Each presentation was followed by a conversation and q&a. The themes and artists are listed below.
