Member Corner
By Devika Parmar, MA, AMFT A year and a half ago, we started running art events out of my living room. On a whim, we created a card deck to add helpful constraints to the artmaking process and take people through a process of learning about themselves and one another through the art. The event would culminate in everyone’s art being taped on the bright yellow wall of my dining room and one by one, participants would share their experiences and open the floor for reflections about what others noticed in their work. We used this space to talk about ways of relating to art through non-value based language and to consider what feeling an art piece evokes, what the eye is drawn toward, or even what memory is conjured by someone’s piece. This project was rooted in principles of connection and community, though was very much born in the spirit of art education. Since those early days in my dining room, the art events have evolved into what we now know as Everyday Art Club.
