The drawings will be portraits of individual trees and tree groups, aiming to bring awareness to their character and significance in our environment.

Community Room Artist in Residence August/September "I plan to create, edit and publish a zine that celebrates the work of Art Produce residents across genres. The zine, which will have more in common with an art object than a literary journal or commercial publication, is anchored in a deep sense of place and aims to tell the story of the artistic community thriving in San Diego. It will include (but is not limited to) illustration, short story, poetry, flash fiction, essay, comics, collage, photography, and hybrid forms." Learn more. ![]() Talia Isaacson

What possibilities emerge when we do so? Learn more. |
