Description

John T. Scott died in September 2007, his memorial that took place at Xavier University, a community of artists, Xavier alumnae, friends, colleagues and people who Scott had influenced came together to celebrate his life. It was at that time that a group of these individuals decided the best way to honor John T. Scott was to gather each year on his birthday, June 30, to celebrate his life and expand on what he gave us through his art, his teaching and his humanity. The first gathering took place in 2008 and lasted for 24 hours. It has happened every year to this date in different forms but always sharing work and working together, remembering Scott said, “The way you spell art is W.O.R.K.” More about John Scott in "64 Parishes" https://64parishes.org/entry/john-scott The different workshops and activities are always free and open to the public. This year, in the spirit of improvisation and making the best from of the worst, we will again gather in person for the first time since 2019 to work and Celebrate. All workshops will take place at Xavier University's Art Village located between Pine and Lowerline streets.
