April 2023 Meeting Featuring Jennifer Seibert

Hello McKinney Creative Community!  Let's gather and share what is new and good!

All creative souls living in McKinney, Texas and surrounding areas are invited to connect with other creative folks through our potluck gatherings. Whether you are an artist, writer, musician, dancer, actor, sculptor, potter, jewelry maker, fiber artist, photographer, chef or you just want to share your creative juices, you are welcome!  This is a potluck event so bring a dish or drink to share!

This month we welcome Jennifer Seibert as our guest speaker! Tangled Conversations: Image and Text tumble together to meditate on gratefulness Jennifer will be sharing her newest body of work made in the last 5 months. The new works are meditations on gratefulness and strength. Paintings, drawings, and videos collide with tumbling text to try to untangle feminist histories, intersectional theory, and how listening to other’s stories might help us find a better more equal world for all.
