The Open Dialogue series is a new program meant to build community by bringing DVAA members together - offering the space and structure to talk, share currently evolving bodies of artwork, learn from each other, and get feedback. The Open Dialogue series is broken down into two parts: the Group Critique Open Dialogues which function like a classic critique in which members who have signed up in advance will bring their works for a group discussion, and the Exhibition-Based Open Dialogues which examine the current exhibition in DVAA's gallery 1 space as a means of discussing the elements and thematic concerns of that exhibition and objectively contemplating the exhibition process from the curatorial side of things.

All members are welcome to attend Exhibition Based Open Dialogues, but there are limited spots so that conversations can remain manageably discussion-based, so sign up today!
