I just wanted to update you on THREE of the exciting things I will be a part of in the next few months:
Invited/The Anniversary List (group exhibition)

http://www.mica.edu/Events_and_Exhibitions/Invited/Invited_Anniversary_List.html
On view September 28 - November 11, 2012
Opening Reception: September 28, 5-10 pm
"MICA's inaugural M.F.A. in
Curatorial Practice class invites you to join them in celebrating the
10th anniversary of Station North Arts & Entertainment District by
presenting Invited, a two-part exhibition. The exhibition series will
feature site-specific artworks in 10 area businesses as well as a
party-themed gallery show in MICA's newly renovated Graduate Studio
Center Riggs Gallery. The work by MICA's M.F.A. in Curatorial Practice
program highlights the College's active role in community
revitalization, ensuring that all businesses and residents in nearby
Station North-one of the nation's first state-endorsed Arts &
Entertainment Districts-embrace and are engaged with the unique artistic
nature of the district. Invited is presented by the 10 inaugural
candidates in MICA's M.F.A. in Curatorial Practice program, under the
guidance of faculty members Jeffry Cudlin and Gerald Ross, who also
serves as the College's director of exhibitions."

HOUSE SHOW (group exhibition)
On view September
21 - October 26, 2012 at Urbanite@Case[werks] gallery / for D Center Baltimore
1501 Saint Paul Street, Suite 116
1501 Saint Paul Street, Suite 116
Opening Reception: Friday, September 21, 6-8 pm
"HOUSE SHOW will examine how these structures serve as narratives,
recording and telling our personal stories and the stories of streets,
neighborhoods, and entire cities. What are the stories contained in
rowhouse walls? What are the personal, political, and social
implications of how these buildings were and are created, used, and left
vacant or torn down? How do rowhouses reveal how we live, and how we
used to live?"
(I'm presenting/facilitating a participatory art piece, a narrative about Domestic Violence that will grow with the exhibition, and within the gallery space.)

3 Tributaries (solo show)
On view October 5 - November 3, 2012 at the
Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts, Blue Mountain Lake, NY
Closing Reception: November 3, 2012
Additionally, I will hold a free printmaking workshop on November 3, 3-5:30 pm in recognition of National Domestic Violence Awareness month. This process is the same one used for the series, 3 Tributaries. "One of the most important resources for people experiencing domestic
violence is a safe space, emotionally, spiritually and physically.
Explore your own thoughts and experiences with ‘safe spaces’ in the
form of a collograph printmaking workshop. This hands-on workshop will
detail creating a printmaking plate as well as a simple hand printing
process that can be easily duplicated at home.”
(And currently, this piece, 'Home', is up for silent auction at the art center. All proceeds benefit the Blue Mountain Lake community.)
