As part of the programming for the citywide FOTOWEEKDC festival, Civilian is teaming up with the photographers in the exhibition Pastime to present the inaugural edition ARTist FORUM, a new series of bi-monthly discussions featuring established and emerging artists. ARTist FORUM will be a venue and opportunity for artists and their supporters to discuss issues pertinent to art-making, including surviving, and possibly thriving, as an artist in D.C.

ARTist FORUM 1: Photographers will bring together photographers Ken Ashton, Christopher Sims from the Duke Center for Documentary Studies, Michael Itkoff from Daylight Magazine, and Kate MacDonnell for a candid and open discussion about:

* creating, editioning, and pricing work
* working with a gallery and a museum
* copyright issues
* digital vs. film and processes
* and other topics that arise in
discussion.

There is no cost to attend this event and you do not have to be an artist to participate, but artists are encouraged to attend and participate.
