On Friday, August 8 the Summit team will host a group of polymer artists for an artists’ panel. The discussion will cover a range of topics including use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), gallery acceptance, artistic process and much more.
Taking a cue from our annual attendee surveys, the fourth annual Summit tackled the topic of dimension in polymer. This can take many forms including 2-D wall art, vessels, shape, and height.
By 2023, the Polymer Art Summit event became an established annual event, known for the quality of presenters and program. The 2023 event moved into the realm of Polymer Plus…and that plus included paper, paint, wire, textiles and much more.
Buoyed by the success of the first Polymer Art Summit and taking into consideration the post-event surveys, the PAS team selected surface treatments for the second Summit.
In 2020, inspired by the shared work on the Facebook Mokume Gane group, Debbie Jackson had the idea to create an event dedicated to this technique. She gathered together a team of polymer artists, all of whom had event planning and related experience to contribute to the event.
