Seeing Like an Artist: A Conversation About Observation and Art in our Time

18 August, 2025 to 18 August, 2025




Seeing Like an Artist: A Live Conversation with Juliette Aristides
Presented by Terracotta

What does it truly mean to see like an artist—to observe the world not just with our eyes, but with understanding, clarity, and intention?

Join Juliette Aristides, renowned realist painter, author, and founder of the Aristides Atelier, for a complimentary live conversation and Q&A exploring the vital role of observation in both the artistic process and the broader human experience.

In this 45-minute session, you will be able to ask questions about art and education.  Juliette will share her thoughts on cultivating deeper visual awareness, interpreting the visual world with purpose, and creating meaningful, timeless work in an age of distraction. The event will also include a live Q&A, inviting thoughtful dialogue with attendees.

This conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear from one of today’s leading voices in classical art education—providing both philosophical insight and practical inspiration for artists and art-lovers alike.

Bonus: One attendee will be selected to receive a free copy of Juliette’s newest book, The Inner Life of the Artist.

We invite all ARC readers—whether practicing artists or appreciators of fine art—to join us for this enriching and reflective event.
