Artists Relief Initiative

Join us for a screening and panel discussion of The Commons: 15 Artists 15 Spaces, documenting The City of West Palm Beach’s ArtLife Committee Covid-19 Artists Relief Initiative. A colorful Open Studio and an insightful Artist Tour will be led by artists featured in this project. And a Jazz Friday performance by Charles Goold, hailing from New York City, blending, and juxtaposing traditional Haitian and Afro Caribbean rhythms with hard bop, modern jazz, and hip hop.

About Screening and Panel Discussion/ The Commons: 15 Artists 15 Spaces

The City of West Palm Beach’s ArtLife Committee commissioned 15 local artists to create temporary works that bring to light our community’s need to reconnect with one another during the pandemic. The project encouraged artists to reimagine our public spaces, reflect and respond on a localized level to a global crisis, while offering the artists monetary relief. One of the 15 artists was asked to create a final short documentary that would play a vital role in producing a shared cultural memory of our pandemic times.

This screening will be followed by a Panel Discussion with artists Ates Isildak, Dana Donaty, and Robert Fehre and moderated by Sybille Welter.
