Kim Carlson is an outsider artist who operates and creates within the realms of conceptual and collaborative frameworks. Outsider art is a form of art that is derived from individuals with little to no formal art instruction or knowledge. Outsider art is a gnostic art; the term gnosis refers to something that is ‘known’ directly from the source of all that is and tends to have mystical qualities about it. Outsider artists are often people marginalized in Western society, misunderstood, misrepresented, and misinterpreted in and among the cultures, communities, and families, making many of them in the American and predominantly Western cultures categorized as mentally ill and/or disabled. For Kim, being an outsider artist means that she allows her spirit and intuition to guide what she creates. Artistically, this has led Kim through anime and comic book-style art to painting, mixed media, dance, written word, teaching, nursing, coaching, and Tarot card inspired psychic readings and interpretations. Kim believes the ultimate mission of the outsider artist is to awaken in themselves their authenticity, transform the world they see around them from pain and suffering to joy, love, and inspiration, and then to go out in to the world and shine with hope and light to inspire others to do the same.  Follow Kim on Instagram at kim.carlson.art

Community • Education • Arts (@4CEArts) latest 2020 NICE podcast uploads: the first and second episodes discussing Violence & Domestic Abuse in our four books chosen for 2020 6th Annual NICE project! This year’s NICE project's selected books are: Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell, Dracula by Bram Stoker, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

More information about our annual NICE project here: https://cearts.org/home/nice/!

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, for the first time ever, we're sharing our behind-the-scenes discussions for our 2020 NICE project. More info about out annual NICE project: https://cearts.org/home/nice/.

Content Note:

Written works, especially classics and books set in historical time periods, almost always contain problematic content: intolerance, prejudice, discrimination, and racism. This year’s books are: Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell, Dracula by Bram Stoker, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. All of them possess elements of prejudice, intolerance, and racism, as well as classism, and violence and domestic abuse. In our pre-workshop podcast discussions, we’ve recorded several episodes that discuss racism and prejudice in general, and how to address problematic elements in classics and period books. Some of the questions we asked ourselves are: what’s really there? How do we view the book today vs when it was written/the setting? What is the value of reading books with problematic elements? For answers to those questions and more, listen to our podcast episodes available here: https://cearts.org/discussions-against-racism/

@theroundtable with musician Terrance Anderson

Musician Terrance Anderson recently joined us @theroundtable ~ Terrance is known as the Coo Guy. He was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he made his mark as a songwriter after he began to create and share renditions on SoundCloud of some of his personal inspiring R&B artists. Having received positive responses from fans/followers, Terrance later released his first debut single titled, One Night Only, a single that expressed his love for R&B in his own creative and “coo way.” Soon after he became well known for his latest singles, “Don’t Sleep (Remix), and “Tantra (Remix),” both singles which also express love in a melodic and alternative way. As Terrance gained responses from his fans for more music, he geared up for the release of his newest project titled, “IT’S COO" (released on June 5, 2020).
