Karen Turner is an award-winning figure and portrait artist whose oil paintings are a commentary on the weight of expectations. Focusing on the physical body and the scrutiny to which it is commonly subjected, her paintings explore what society expects of a woman, the ways in which a woman’s shape is often considered to define her, and the impact that this has on her life and sense of self.
Karen was the winner of the VAA Professional Artist Award in 2022 and is currently one of ten finalists for The Dubel Emerging Artist of the Year Prize. She was awarded the President’s Prize by the Institute of East Anglian Artists and has been a finalist in the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, the Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize and the Theo Paphitis Art Prize. She exhibits with The Other Art Fair and has recently held her first solo show in London with Red Eight Gallery.
Josephine Zentner
Josephine Zentner is the Art Prize and Gallery Coordinator at Jackson's.

Are you interested in being a part of the next generation of BIPOC arts journalists? Join our next BIPOC Critics Lab Cohort, in partnership with founder & cultural critic, Jose Solís! Applicants who were not accepted to any past cohorts are encouraged to apply again; previously accepted Lab participants are ineligible to re-apply. Applications are now open until Wednesday, May 15. Learn more here.
The Public Theater is hosting cultural critic Jose Solís’ BIPOC Critics Lab in the 2024-25 season. After successfully hosting the 2023-2024 cohort, The Public is honored to continue Solís’ commitment to creating an educational space for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) writers in the realm of cultural criticism.
Sessions for the Lab will span the course of The Public’s 2024-25 season. Those chosen to participate will receive offers to join the cohort in late June, with the cohort officially beginning in mid-September. This iteration of the cohort will be a hybrid model of online sessions and option in-person activities.
The program begins with ten 90-minute weekly sessions on Zoom for cohort members to define “What My Criticism Will Be”, to take place in Fall 2024. Additional learning opportunities will take place in the spring on a semi-regular basis. Participants who meet the attendance requirements will be assigned a future commissioned piece with compensation.
Following the tenets of dialogue, compassion, and nurturing one’s unique voice, future critics who participate in the cohort will contribute to the creation of a custom program that fits their specific needs and encourages them to pursue the path of criticism that best serves them. Participating in the cohort is at no cost to members. Selected members will have the opportunity to learn all aspects of arts journalism through a variety of mediums beyond the written word. BIPOC experts in the field also serve as guest speakers for the Lab. Writers who meet the attendance requirements at the culmination of the program will be assigned a future commissioned piece with compensation.
About the BIPOC Critics Lab
The BIPOC Critics Lab was founded in 2020 by Jose Solís as a first-of-its-kind program designed to train and create work by emerging BIPOC theater journalists. Solís noticed a gap in training based on his own experience as a cultural critic in the field and created an educational space for BIPOC writers who had not been welcomed into cultural criticism, whether due to systemic oppression, lack of opportunity, or because they didn’t know they were allowed to see themselves as critics. Solís solicited applicants for the first cohort through Twitter where over 100 BIPOC participants expressed interest in participating. From 2021-2023, The Kennedy Center hosted the BIPOC Critics Lab online as a part of the American College Theater Festival. In the summer of 2023, a cohort was also co-hosted by the Stratford Festival and Intermission Magazine. During its 2023-2024 season, The Public Theater hosted its first BIPOC Critics Lab cohort. Alumni of the program have gone on to write and work as editors for outlets such as The Los Angeles Times, Andscape, Elle, Glamour, American Theatre, Broadway News, 3Views, Brooklyn Rail, and Token Theatre Friends.

Grand Central Atelier, The Improvisational Still Life Workshop
Workshops & Classes
- Submission Deadline: June 1, 2024
- Event Dates: July 8, 2024 - July 12, 2024
- Entry Fee: There is no registration fee, but tuition fees apply. Please see website for further details.
- Eligibility: Regional
- Categories: Drawing, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Painting
- Location: Ridgewood, N
Course Description
If you’ve ever wondered how you can make fully finished paintings of fleeting subjects (flowers which wilt, food which rots, etc.) then this is the class for you!
In this workshop we will focus on creating a fully resolved still life painting in a direct manner which will allow for improvisation in terms of our composition and also allow us to make fully finished paintings of subjects which may not give us a lot of time to work with them.
We will skip the initial drawing and underpainting which many of us are used to doing, in favor of diving right in and finishing each element as we go. During the course of the week we will discuss how to paint light and form, color mixing, paint handling and many other aspects of painting as well as discussing how to build a composition “on the fly” as we go.
Students will be able to pick their own subject matter for their paintings, and can choose to paint objects which will remain stable for the entire week, or can choose subjects which will change more quickly.
This course is open to all levels and there will be instruction geared towards beginners and advanced students alike.

Working beside their selection, students will learn how to sculpt in low-relief by sketching their subject directly onto clay and building outward three-dimensionally in an alla-prima, intuitive style.
Instruction will include how to compose your subject matter within a defined space, organize depths according to an internal establishment of volumes and perspective, and utilize different textures and patterns to convey nature’s diverse forms. Students will learn how to edit nature’s infinite details into its most essential and striking components and capture the transitory nature of live botanicals. Consideration for artistic composition, surface texture and depth will be discussed. Demos on how to block-in a bas-relief, draw directly into clay and develop form will take place. Discussion will include the function of bas-relief as botanical study and as artistic three-dimensional records of the natural world.
Clay and wooden boards will be provided. Students will work outdoors, weather permitting.
Course Outline:
Day One:
Setting up your Bas-Relief
How to construct a clay base for bas-relief
Selecting your subject matter

Welcome to the 2024 Summer Workshops
This year, we have lined up 65 extraordinary workshops in visual arts and creative writing over the course of nine weeks. We’ve brought together an outstanding group of instructors that includes many esteemed faculty members, along with many faces who are new to FAWC. We are confident that this dynamic combination of new and familiar faces will help create an inspiring atmosphere at FAWC that will invite students to take creative leaps.
Register for a Workshop
Here are some of this summer’s highlights that we are most excited about:
A new tiered tuition system. In a continuation of our effort to make the Summer Workshops more welcoming and accessible to artists and writers who have been historically underserved by FAWC, we are introducing a tiered tuition system that will make workshops more affordable for those who need it. There is also a special discounted rate for teachers and students. Click here to learn more about it.
Online Catalog Only. This year, we will only offer an online catalog, supplemented by timely promotional announcements. We believe this is a more environmentally sustainable approach aligned with our values and furthers our commitment to mindfully steward our natural resources.
New and familiar faces. Many of you will notice that a few beloved, long-time instructors aren’t teaching this year. Don’t worry—they’ll be back! Our faculty recruitment strategy stresses having a fresh mix of faculty every year. Periodically, we will give all instructors a break for a year or two. This will allow us to invite new faculty consistently every year and keep our catalog vibrant and interesting for our students.
Queer Week is back! Andrea Lawlor is our returning curator for Queer Week II, and they have recruited an amazing group of instructors, including printmaker Miriam Klein Stahl, painter Ilana Savdie, writer and performer Celeste Lescene (along with his colleagues at Future Perfect Project), poet Cameron Awkward-Rich, writer Melissa Febos, and writer Carmen Maria Machado.
Commitment to DEIA. Check out the DEIA Resources link to learn more about everything we are doing to center our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. You’ll also find a variety of articles, videos, and websites where you can learn more about DEIA issues.
Scholarships. We are continuing our commitment to making the Summer Workshops more welcoming and inclusive by offering robust scholarship opportunities. Last year, 20% of our students attended a workshop without having to pay tuition, thanks to the generosity of our community. We aim to match or exceed that this summer. Click here to learn more about our scholarship program and apply for a scholarship. Please click here if you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to our Access Fund to support our scholarship program.
Our Partners. We are grateful to our many partners that help make the Summer Workshops so transformative for everyone who attends: the generous foundations and individuals that support the program; the academic institutions, nonprofits, and businesses who partner with us to provide scholarships; the hotels, inns, and B&Bs who make housing affordable for students; and the local businesses that donate goods and services.
