Irish-born, New York City-based artist Nuala Clarke will be teaching a four-week visual arts workshop at the Interdependence Project, a nonprofit organization “for folks interested in exploring their minds on the meditation cushion and applying the insights, clarity, and wisdom developed by meditation techniques to a variety of applications in the world of arts, ecology, activism, and community service.” Clarke, who will have a solo show later this year at Blank Space in Chelsea, is an experienced mentor, teacher, and FOT (friend of twi-ny) who is absolutely charming and engaging — and a damn fine artist to boot. Although preregistration for the course is suggested, drop-ins are welcome for the classes, which will integrate “mindfulness, awareness, and embodiment” into everyday creativity, incorporating meditation, reflection, and discussion. Although you don’t have to attend all four classes, it is encouraged. The series will wrap up with a daylong art retreat on February 27 with Sokuzan Bob Brown.
