UDPers C. Bain and Rebekah Smith, along with and , are starting a new workshop series this fall!

This is a learning center dedicated to creative practice across, between, and beyond conventional modes. Our anti-curriculum is a series of experiments to elaborate on the pleasures which are usually peripheral, often found while in pursuit of something else.

We teach in harmony with Falschrum Books’ mission of amalgamating art, literature, and research, in order to overturn expectations and create an environment of possibility and hope. The facilitators at the Center for Rejection teach exactly what they are interested in—this is not a professionalizing space, it is a space of mutation.

We are a collective of autonomous artists interested in teaching and learning for its subversive and convivial potential, and we welcome you to join with us in these practices.

We hope you’ll consider joining one of the workshops!
