Carl Heyward’s PUSH/PRACTICE WORKSHOP
Sunday, June 9, 2024 (12 pm - 3 pm)
“If it gives pleasure or comfort, it is Art; if it instructs and enlightens, it is Art; if it confuses, is clever or clarifies, it is Art. The platform or delivery system, be it literary, culinary, educational, 2D, 3D, digital, electronic, FaceBook, childbirth, or of the plastic “arts” is the only thing that differentiates one from the other. Still, each, nonetheless, is to be respected and regarded as valuable vehicles of experience or existence.”
