Alongside the exhibition Lindsay Preston Zappas: I Forgot My Shoes, Zappas and BICA are hosting a writing workshop on June 15 & 16 which will culminate with the publishing and launch party for a summer art review print publication for Buffalo in August. The workshop will consist of visits to exhibitions on view in Buffalo, discussions on how to structure art writing and criticism, and one-on-one feedback and editing from Zappas. Together, the group will work on the form and details of the publication, to be launched in August. The workshop is designed to include both first time writers and seasoned professionals, artists and non-artists alike. Space is limited in the workshop, if you are interested in participating please email emily@thebica.org to reserve a spot.
