how to participate
for our june 2021 salon, nocturns, artists across disciplines and mediums will share work in response to nocturning, pandemic nightmares, & dreams for escape. their work will be featured here and in a live zoom meeting salon after the june 10 performance of nocturning. the salon is free & open to all, and will feature artists discussing their pieces, as well as q&a from the audience and an opportunity to share your own work. if you would like to participate in the salon, please follow the submission link above. we are asking artists to use new or existing work to respond to one of five lines that can be found below. also find below a list of juicy prompts we think you might like.
if you are unable to make a formal submission before june 10, but you want to take part in some collaborative art making, please consider attending one of our sketch nights. on june 6 and june 10 at our 7:30 pm performances, come ready with your art supplies, notebook, or anything else you use to create, and sketch (or paint or write or sew) along with the show. we will feature anything you want to share on our social media, and you’re welcome to bring it to the salon.
from nocturning; or Wayward Are Such Dreams
If you/I meet in the middle will you / Take the broken glass out of / My pies?
I wanna bass-boost my ass / And if that's not spiritual enough for you / Then get the fuck out of my garden
What goes up must go up / and up and up and up and up and up
As i sit here surrounded by / All of my eggs
Disappointment is far, far too / Expensive these days
(an abbreviated suite of pleasant memory)
