A program of non-curated shared showings of experimentation and work-in-process, for artists at all stages of their development selected through a randomized lottery. The events are centered around a moderated discussion between the artists and audience providing an opportunity to experiment with different feedback methods to support and inform the artists’ process.
Open Performance artists are selected through a lottery system.
Open Performance events will take place in September, October, November and December, 2025 at the Movement Research Studios at 122 Cultural Center. These events are open to the public.
