Maps are more than just literal representations of physical locations. This two day course will explore the myriad ways artists have played with the concept of maps and cartography.

The class will look at both digital and physical artistic representations of maps and geographic data along with work that is more performative. We will explore different processes for creating maps. Course participants will walk away with their own printed map. The course costs $180 ($30/hr x 6). Discounts available for students and those that are underemployed.
