my cool Sunday workshops @ the BCA... come!

C'mon Boston. Get salty with me. I need a little help over here. Your story can be part of my project! And we you can try my unorthodox drawing methods. It's fun! It's free! It's this SUNDAY!

Come learn more about BCA Artist Resident Christy Georg. Her current work, Nautical Body, is inspired by the sea. She uses her exhaustive research of maritime history, culture and techniques, as well as her first-hand sailing experience, as inspiration for her artwork. During her Artist Residency, Christy will continue this theme by creating a large illustrative map that charts the evolution of the Boston Harbor from 1776 to the present. Furthermore, her map will incorporate personal stories with historical events, both of which will be given equal importance on her map.

Mapping Memories of Boston Harbor
Have you ever visited Castle Island or the Harbor Islands? Have you ever kayaked down the Charles River? Do you have relatives or friends who worked at the marina or the harbor? All are welcome to share their experiences and memories about Boston's waterfronts and rivers. You will then illustrate these stories using Christy's drawing techniques of creating new forms through collage, splicing and tracing.

Sunday, JAN 23 1 - 3:30pm Arts Resource Room, Calderwood Pavilion @ Boston Center for the Arts. 539 Tremont St.
