SHIFT:
A series of artist-led workshops between Hodges Taylor + Riff Ideas
SHIFT offers an invitation to enter into an artist’s creative process through a series of virtual workshops. With hands-on activities to enhance creative thinking, challenge perspectives and reflexive habits you will enhance and appreciate your own creative capacity. Each 90-minute workshop is designed and delivered in collaboration with Riff Ideas and one of Hodges Taylor’s artist partners. Workshops are designed for anyone interested in creativity, no need to have artistic ability. SHIFT is presented free of charge with the support of the Center City Small Business Innovation Fund.
