Tina Dillman - ART TALK Episode 11

RJ talks with TD Projects about her upcoming monthly salon, The Bloomfield Garden Club, on this week's Art Talk!

RJ talks with TD Projects about her upcoming monthly salon, The Bloomfield Garden Club, on this week's Art Talk!

TD Projects (Tina Dillman, independent artist and curator) in partnership with Burning Well (Bill Julin, Bloomfield Resident) will be launching the Bloomfield Garden Club (BGC), a monthly salon highlighting local artists in residence working in dance, music, comedy, literary, visual, and/or performance art. They are excited to announce their line-up with August Artists-in-Residence: Naomi Chambers (visual), Betty Douglas w/ Rex Trimm (music), and John Musser w/ Scott Andrew (performance); September Artists-in-Residence: Tara Fay Coleman (visual), Clara Kent (music), and Shana Simmons (dance), October Artists-in-Residence: Betty Douglas w/ Rex Trimm (music), Jesse Factor w/ Scott Andrew (performance), and Christiane Leach (visual).

The goal of the BGC is to provide an experimental platform for local artists from various backgrounds to create new work in the dawn of this awakening hour, and to provide sources of revenue for those that are the most vulnerable. They will be showcasing local artists that identify as female, queer, anti-colonizer, person of color, or have always felt like they were the outliers. Tina Dillman’s vision: “The communities I create are inclusive of any background, race, class, gender profile, as there is only one way forward and that is to ensure that we all rise together. There is no world that I want to be in that exists without artists, as we are the backbone of every society-we document, we create, we breathe, we speak truth to power, and dream up new ideas that have the ability to transform old civilizations into new beginnings.”

The fall season will run August (18, 20, 23), September (22, 24, 27), and October (13, 15, 18), with public engagements happening on Tuesday & Thursday evenings, 6-8pm, and Sunday afternoons, 3-5pm. Each salon will begin with a moment of silence/prayer, then the artists in residence will either perform or present their new work for up to 20 minutes each, and the event will conclude with a dialogue (question/answer) between the artists and guests. Snacks and beverages will be available, while guests can BYOB to this private event.

Due to Covid precautions there will be a limited number of tickets (8) available each evening at $25/each. There will also be a limited number of memberships (25) available for the fall season ($60/one-ticket-each-month). Those interested in attending should purchase their ticket ahead of time, as with limited seating, we are planning on having the events sell out, with no spots available the day of. Each artist in residence will receive a stipend through the revenue generated by ticket sales, membership, and sponsorship. For more information on how to purchase a ticket, please visit: http://tinadillman.com/the-bloomfield-garden-club/.
