In this Pay-What-You Can workshop, learn how to dance with fire with experienced instructor Marilyn Besasie. People who practice the flow arts usually want to graduate to using fire, and they will do so even with very little knowledge of how to do it as safely as possible. These workshops aim to teach these flow practitioners what they need to know to keep themselves, their surroundings, and their audience as safe as can be when using live fire. In addition, some flow practitioners will want to “go pro,” or take on professional, paying gigs as fire entertainers. These workshops will give them the elements they need to be aware of when they turn pro. From obtaining insurance, working with fire indoors, crowd control, and even flying across the country with fire tools, everything will be covered in each 2 hour workshop. The first hour of the workshop will take place before dusk and will be an indoor presentation of information consisting of handouts and videos. For the second hour we will move outdoors and begin the live fire portion of the workshop. There are two parts to performing with fire and each student will practice both parts, which is performing with the fire, and being a safety guard for a performer. By the end of the workshop, each student should feel comfortable and confident enough to do both. REGISTRATION REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION. Register Here.

Athena On My Mind

OPENING RECEPTION: September 12th | 6-9PM

Athena in My Mind is a collection of paintings, illustrated poetry, and custom-made frames that explore the ways Athena lives in my imagination, not just as a goddess, but as a lens through which I think about courage, wisdom, creativity, and the lifelong climb it takes to reach our full potential.

The exhibition explores Athena as both mythological figure and personal symbol. Figurative paintings, portraits, studies of architecture and landscape, and recurring classical imagery both reimagine the birth of Athena and connect myth to the contemporary experience of womanhood in today’s world.

Throughout the series, books, wings, mountains and caverns, growing plants, shattered vessels, approaching storms, and fragments of classical architecture become visual metaphors for learning, resilience, transformation, resistance to suppression, and the ongoing act of creation.

Custom-made frames extend the narrative beyond the painted surface, at times swallowing and caging the artwork, embodying the internal and external barriers that stand between who we are and the people we are meant to be.

Athena in My Mind is an invitation to reflect on the stories that shape us, and on the barriers and limitations in our own lives that are worth breaking.

Christine Welman is an author and oil painter whose work bridges fine art and speculative fiction, exploring identity through story. Drawing on fairy tales, myth, legend, historical figures, and the natural world, her work often centers women while re-imagining cultural archetypes. She believes the stories we tell ourselves shape who we become. Her work explores what it means to be human and finding the courage to create.

Welman teaches oil painting at Mitchell Street Arts in Milwaukee, WI.
