Shelf-Conscious: A Peak Inside the Artist’s Journal

Ever wanted to understand the secret inner-workings of your local artists and writers?
Join us at Make.Shift for the opening of Shelf-Conscious: A Peak Inside the Artist’s Journal. In Decemember 2017, Make.Shift released an open invitation to artists and writers in the
community to display their journals, diaries and sketchbooks. The exhibit, opening on First
Friday Art Walk in February, will feature an array of formats, including pre-made mini-journals designed and distributed by Make.Shift volunteers. A segment of the gallery will be dedicated to an intimate and interactive bedroom installation designed by Make.Shift volunteers and community artists. For anyone who would like to participate, there’s still time! Journal submissions are due Saturday January 27 at 12:00 p.m. Don’t have a journal to display? There will also be a “secret diary” open mic at the opening on Art Walk Friday! Sign-ups begin at 6:30 p.m. and performances will start at 7 p.m.
