"Artists at Lunch" Series

Portside is excited to launch our "Artists at Lunch" series, a biweekly virtual artist talk being offered to the Portside community and beyond! During each of these 30 minute artist talks that occur every other Wednesday from 12:30-1pm EST, a new artist will be introduced. Artists will explain their artistic practices, share work, give demonstrations, and answer any questions that viewers might have. We hope to engage and connect with others by conducting these artist talks, and to provide each other with inspiration, because right now, art is more important than ever!
Although it is not required to view the "Artists at Lunch" series, we are encouraging viewers to consider making a donation to help support the Portside during this time, and to help us to continue "Empowering the Artists of Tomorrow."
All donations go towards Portside's children's scholarship fund.
