Voluntary and Civic Activities

 

 

Organization: Guttenberg Arts Foundation

Location: Guttenberg, NJ

Description: 

The STAR Artist Fellowship is an arts foundation and residency program. As part of the fellowship, artists volunteer to help the community. I did so by teaching a free oil painting course for a group of students with various levels of training. The class covered the fundamentals of drawing a painting in oil. Students were given feedback and instruction based on individual needs and concerns. “Dead Palette” containing mutated versions of primary colors, plus white and black was assigned as means of exploring the idea of analogous colors as well as tone, hue, and intensity of color. In my class, we discussed critical discourse, contemporary art, and art theory. I critiqued student work, prompted, and engaged in-class discussion. I also directed students to relevant artists, concepts, and institutions. The Fellowship culminated in an exhibition open to the public, which I helped to curate and prepare. 

Members: 20

Positions: STAR Artist Fellow, Teacher, and Artist

January 2016 - March 2016

 

Organization: The Post Contemporary

Location: Troy, NY

Description: The Post Contemporary is an interdisciplinary art center, and an artist residency program. Before my MFA I undertook this residency, during which time I curated an exhibition in the city of Troy. For the show, the city granted us access to the first 14 floors of an abandoned skyscraper. The show was publicized around town, and open to all who wished to participate. I showed a series of paintings I had made at the Troy Transfer Station County Waste and Recycling Facility. My fellow resident artists also filled the repurposed spaces with their work. The theme of the “Hint of Mint” was Eco-terrorism and social justice.
