Passion and Purpose: Paul Elledge

Artist Speaker Series

When artists create work about things that they care about, they make better art. This series aims to explore all the ways that “passion projects” emerge, evolve, develop, are supported, funded and deployed.

Why do you make the work that you make, and how does it affect change? These are the key questions we pose to participants, who will share their stories in images, words and interactive sessions.

Paul Elledge: Creative Cross Training

This program will focus on the creative process and introduce participants to the possibilities for creative development and the importance of building your creative muscles. Paul Elledge will share his working methods and techniques for enhancing his creativity, as well as share how he stays present and engaged with the world through his personal photographic projects.
