Laura Shabbat - The Evolution of Artistry Wednesday, October 30, 2024 12:00 PM Eastern Every artist - from makeup pros to painters, dancers to writers — has a place, both physical and internal, where they started creating, then a new place they grew to, and a desired place they are moving toward. Examining that evolutionary process of your artistry not only allows you to embrace and expect change, but also to thrive as you develop and grow in your work and business. In this inspirational session with one of The Powder Group’s most beloved presenters, Laura Shabott, we will dig into the process of growth as evolution, and how to deal with the expectations and unknowns along our path. Provincetown based, Laura is a graduate of School of Museum of Fine Arts at TUFTS, Boston, with Returning Residencies at the Fine Arts Work Center, Provincetown. Her art practice has grown to include making paintings, drawings and collages, teaching and inspiring others to create the art and life they really want. Shabott is represented by Berta Walker Gallery, has artwork in the Permanent Collection of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) and has an upcoming solo show You Only Get This Body Once at the Cape Cod Museum of Art October of 2025.  |

Stacy and Michael will talk through strategies for navigating creative and personal chaos, offering guidance on how to regain clarity, fall back in love with your purpose, and move forward with renewed focus. If you are struggling to see the next step, but want to keep your dream alive, this conversation is for you.  |
