EVENT #139 Artist COVID-19 Resource Workshop on June 18

Thursday, June 18, 6:00pm

LOCATION: Online at Venture Cafe Virtual
How To Get There: To join the workshop, check in at this link anytime after 4:00pm on Thursday, June 18 https://venturecafemiami.org/vcmvirtual/ The workshop starts promptly at 6:00pm

Learn about the many resources available to artists of ALL types to help you recover from the hardships of the COVID-19 lockdown. Get expert answers live to all your questions.

You, artists & creatives, may be eligible for cash and resources to help you recover! Come learn how! This workshop is not art-specific, it is about the COVID resources that are out there available to YOU. Some will be specific for artists, and we will also include information about things that are not artist specific, like the PPP and SBA. Small business stuff, since artists are usually set up as small businesspeople. Plus, some covid grants for artists, but nothing that is predicated on the type of art anyone does.

We are bringing together a group of experts to help you understand how to access these resources. We will provide you with virtual live support and answer as many of your questions as we can. We are partnering with Venture Cafe Miami to present this virtually during their Thursday #VCMVirtual gatherings.

Participating organizations include:
– Artist Relief
– Oolite Arts
– Miami Urban Contemporary Experience
– YoMiami
– Guitars Over Guns
– Life Is Art, Inc.

This workshop will include information on artist-specific resources, as well as those that are available to independent contractors, small business people, and solopreneurs. While it is focused on artists, we welcome other creatives. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Your questions are key to this program. We will start with a short group discussion of some specific programs, but we will have plenty of time for you to ask specific questions.

We encourage you to investigate the following online resources in preparations for this workshop:
* Artist Relief https://www.artistrelief.org/
* Oolite Arts Relief Fund for COVID-19 https://oolitearts.org/relieffund/
* Axis Helps https://www.axishelps.org/

ROCHELLE BERMAN
Theme: Women and their Issues-Dreamscape Series
Struggles and Dreams,Transformation and Fear and lLove, Growth-
Dreamscapes- Symbolic and Impressionistic

The artist was born in Brooklyn, NY and currently lives in Miami, Florida. She spent her youth studying the visual arts, including classes in life drawing and painting in NYC as a teen. She always loved to draw, paint and write poetry , but it was in college that she actually discovered her greatest passion of all was with photography. Classically trained in photography, she started her studies with black and white film photography at Arizona State University, She was employed as a portrait photographer while still in college. Later, she learned to utilize creative film techniques using double exposure, solarization, photo-montage and other darkroom effects. Rochelle assisted her professors in the History of Photography classes, and she was inspired by studying such diverse Masters of Photography from the past and present such as Henri Cartier Bresson, Man Ray, Abbott, Brassaii, Julia Margaret Cameron just to name a few. Some modern favorites include (Portrait) Phillips Halsman, Annie Leibovitz, Barbara Morgan, Arnold Newman, (Experimental photography ) Bill Brandt, Andre Kertesz,Sandy Skoglund (Travel/ Documentary ) Steve McCurry and Jim Zuckerman.
Rochelle has exhibited and sold her artwork locally and internationally. She enjoys creating certain “Dreamscape” type effects through creatively envisioning the final result and then employing the Digital Darkroom techniques. Rochelle especially enjoys creating experimental portraits, nature studies and travel related Images. Well-traveled, Rochelle Berman attempts to capture the immense beauty of our world as seen throughout many countries, people and landscapes. She likes to capture the special moments and underlying essence of a scene. Totally in love with Color and Pattern , her artworks are electrically vibrant, simple and direct in composition and emotionally rich. Some of her favorite artists include (impressionist) Matisse, Monet, Cassatt. (Surrealist ) Dali and Magritte, (Expressionistic decorative/symbolist ) Klimt and Chagall.

Artist Statement
“My intention is to capture and create images that show the beauty and magic of our world! I hope to inspire and share the happiness that I feel when in the presence of nature and her wonders. Also, I am intrigued by our unique human ability to communicate and express in such diverse ways, It is my hope to touch hearts and inspire minds through my Art/Photography. As a spiritual truth seeker, my art helps me to break through traditional thinking to discover new ideas and feelings. The greatest joy lies in sharing the present moment’s magic with others and exploring dreams and intuition as tools for spiritual growth. I love to create “dreamscapes” where I start with the inherent beauty in nature, places and people and take a creative leap from there.”

CARLOS G. SCOTT
Born in 1952 in the city of La Paz, Bolivia from Scottish and Spanish ancestry, Carlos lived in Sydney, Australia for 4 years of his early childhood and moved to New York when he was 12 years of age. Sports were by far the most defining of activities that would strongly influence his general outlook and be a vital key to a creative expression. From playing cricket and rugby at a high level as a youngster to becoming a professional soccer player there was always a powerful drive to refine his skill and talent. At age 30 or so Carlos was able to refocus his creative energy and his affinity for improvisation into artistic expressions via painting with pastels and experimenting with photography.
