Building the Creative Studio; Robbie Seltzer '15

Robbie Seltzer ‘15 will give a presentation on “Building the Creative Studio”. Since graduating from Middlebury with a Studio Art degree, Robbie has designed and built creative spaces ranging from an apartment art gallery to a community design center.

As artists and designers, we use studios to think, make, convene, display, and so much more. Studios are one of our most important tools! By learning the skills to build out our own studios, we can make better work.

Seltzer will also lead a two-day workshop to introduce design and fabrication skills for building out creative studios. Working in the Studio Art Thesis Studio, students will spend the first day re-imaging how the future Thesis Studio in Johnson will support individual development and creative community. On the second day, students will work together to build their design solution for the studios as integral with the academic and public functions of the newly renovated Johnson Memorial Building. The resulting work will be a cornerstone to the upcoming interdisciplinary exhibition “Our Worlds of Design and Fabrication”, presented by the Johnson Exhibition Gallery. Students, Faculty, and Staff may signup to participate in this workshop by contacting Colin Boyd, Director, Johnson Memorial Building at colinb@middlebury.edu (limited spaces available for the workshop).
