Join us for a lively conversation about art collecting. We have gathered a group of collectors including artists, curators, and community leaders who will share why collecting is important to them, what strategies they use in building an art collection, and share some of their picks from Artspace's current exhibition, FRESH.
The panelists include:
- Colony Little - local art writer and creator of Culture Shock Art, a contemporary art blog dedicated to amplifying the voices of Black artists and artists of color.
- Clarence Heyward - celebrated local painter and former NC Emerging Artist in Residence at Artspace (2021)
- Stacy Bloom Rexrode - local artist and Curator of Exhibitions and Collections with the City of Raleigh

About FRESH//
FRESH is a biennial fundraising exhibition that celebrates the incredible creative output across North Carolina, while demystifying the typical art jurying process.
For the month of October, ALL 250+ submissions of original artwork by artists from the Mountains to the Coast will be on view in Galleries 1 + 2. This year, our juror, Jessica Orzulak, Associate Curator of the Asheville Art Museum, will review all of the works in person and choose pieces for a juried exhibition. The final juried selection will represent a diverse cross section of the imaginative, thought-provoking and skilled art that is being created across our state today.
