July Opportunities
It’s July at The Whole Utopianotes Catalog. Why not ignore this godforsaken holiday, and delight in this jubilee of grants, fellowships, funding, prizes, jobs, gigs, open calls, and classifieds!
Here’s a benediction: May you become a different person, or come to see differently the person who was there all along. May you have the pleasure of parsing personality from survival strategies, some day, or one day at a time. May you crawl out the back-way through knee-deep mud if you have to. Pass through security with your eyes closed. Bare feet. Leave your shoes on the conveyor belt, who cares. Consider the messy edges of cooperation and demand communal luxury. You look good, you look really good! What will you think up next? A great American novel? OK, but only if you do it well. A novel does not suggest it is trying to say one thing, it does not have a banner message, it is not easy to summarize (for that, you could write a fuckin memo). A novel is immersive, it invites you into the goopy center of something that is already alive and beguiling and irreducible, and it invites you to think and feel from there. There is a lot you could do today or tomorrow. The journey you were forced to take as a result of whatever the worst thing that ever happened to you was, was not restorative, but—maybe—transformative. What was transformed? You. You are, for instance, no longer a wife but a wolf, screaming in the trees behind her home, half-mad, half-genius. As many before you and many after will, you transform into the person who is—exactly you, exactly where you are at, exactly the age you are now. May you be at home in the world, and a guest in your own house, maybe even—your own guest.

OPPORTUNITIES
Creative Tarot Workshop
This is six-week workshop on the relationship between tarot and creative practice as a way to hone the muscles of intuition that are inherent in both practices. In this workshop, we'll discuss how we can bring that energy into our work, how to use tarot to springboard other phenomena in our art, and how different artistic mediums can inform and complicate one another.
Wednesdays (in person / Hudson, NY) 6-9pm
July 10, 17, 24, 31 Aug 7, 14
Sundays (virtual, no recordings) 6-9pm
July 14, 21, 28, Aug 4, 11, 18
Sliding Scale $111 - 222
WHO THIS IS FOR:
This workshop is for artists and makers who want to immerse in Tarot’s rich symbolism and learn practical techniques to infuse our creative practice with new energy. Whether you’re a seasoned Tarot reader or you’ve never picked up a deck, this workshop will guide you in harnessing the power of Tarot for inspiration and innovation in your everyday life. Our goal is to build a body of work in its beginning stages or already in process. More info here!
