for The Land of Here and Now: Artists of Shared Space Studio, 2011-2015 A series of celebrations with the book available for purchase begins at NowSpace LA, on the last day of the Common Field Convening November 5th, 3 to 5pm at NowSpace 5390 Alhambra Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90032 This catalog chronicles the adventures of resident artists in the Michigan beach town of Pentwater, over the course of a five-year experiment in collaborative art-making and small town explorations. The Shared Space Studio Artist-in-Residence Program operated seasonally from 2011 to 2015, offering facilities and support in a secluded and beautiful setting, with the chance to meet and exchange with other artists. Artists from across the US and Canada made new work inspired by the environment and fostered by the facility, while engaging the local community, building up the studio, and going to the beach. In the summer of 2016, co-facilitators Eliza Fernand and Mary Rothlisberger curated a group exhibition of new work by past resident artists, and recreated the studio inside of the gallery, where they spent time working on this catalog. Fernand's candid weekly recaps of the artist's work and play adapted from blog posts, and contributed essays by visiting artists and Pentwater locals, are accompanied by photo documentation in a brilliant layout by Rothlisberger. Author and residency founder/director Eliza Fernand will be at Now Space to celebrate the publication of the catalog, and will have copies of the book available for $10 off the list price. I am participating as an artist in two venues at this year's ArtPrize competition: EQUITY NOT EQUALITY on view September 13th through October 8th at Ladies Literary Club, 61 Sheldon Blvd SE Grand Rapids, MI 49503 I was invited by the Calvin College Department of Art and Art History to make a piece for the facade of the Ladie's Literary Club downtown, and it felt like a perfect fit for my current direction.

Investigation Pending on view September 8th through October 8th at Cerasus Studio 120 Division Ave S #126, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503 I have two of my NO patchwork wall hangings in this group show that has collected artwork in response to the Trump administration.

June 02 - August 26, 2017 The Jump Off and Flex Gallery Opening Reception Friday, June 2, 2017 5:30pm 9:00pm 2 Fulton West, Grand Rapids, MI 49503 UICA celebrates 40 years of experimentation and growth with The Jump Off, a group exhibition that features multiple works by local, regional, and national artists. The artists included in the exhibition reveal the evolution within the creative process by presenting artwork that defines their current practice paired with earlier works - specifically, exposing the piece or pieces that served as the clear turning point; catalyzing the spark for their new work’s materials, visual or conceptual content. Included Artists: Hannah Smith Allen, Maggie Bandstra, Tyler Bohm, Pete Braspenninx, Kaylee Britton, Rachel Britton, Sophia Brueckner, Sara Dhyne, Scott Dickson, Melissa Dorn Richards, Laurel Dugan, Eliza Fernand, David Frison, Christy Georg, Toby Kaufman-Buhler, Jeff Kraus, Nathan Margoni, Catherine Mellinger, Avery Miller, Meredith Miller, Lisa Mull, Alessandra Myers, Thomas Pike, Ethan Ross, Megan Stone, Nicholas Szymanski, Kayla Thompson, Molly Lucille, Dave Weindorf, Elisabeth Wellfare, Tianna Wierenga, Al Wildey, Rachelle Wunderink. I am the resident artist at The Sanctuary Arcata, April 1st through April 26th, 2017.
The Sactuary is a creative space housed in a former church that serves the community in a variety of ways from open lab hours to pot luck dinners to music lessons. I will be using the facilities, soaking up the Arcata vibes, and teaching a patchwork workshop during my time here. Cryin' Out Loud is a juried exhibition that examines the role of women's and femmes' voices as expressed in art about politics, activism, and emotion. Considering both the metaphoric and literal voice, Cryin' Out Loud explores and celebrates the use of art as a form of speaking up and out. A large group exhibition of works by selected artists will take place in CCA's Muñoz Waxman Gallery.
"Cryin' Out Loud proposes that to unabashedly express emotion is a political act. To live out loud is a necessary political gesture and that women's experience needs to be seen, heard, and cherished. The exhibition will consist of work in all media that embraces emotion as statement; that broadcasts social and political concerns, and that reacts to and resists the structures that continue to oppress us." Participating Artists: Robin Adsit, Susan Arena, Susan Begy, Katina Bitsicas, Nikesha Breeze, Marcie Rose Brewer, Dorielle Caimi, Kimberly Callas, Theodora Eliezer, Eliza Fernand, Vanessa Dion Fletcher, Cheri Gaulke, Melissa Friedman, Katya, Grokhovsky, Maureen Hawthorne, Nicola Heindl, Sarah Hewitt, Jessica Fairfax Hirst, Katie Hovencamp, Victoria Hoyt, Megan Jacobs, Kasey Jones, Casey Kauffmann, Courtney Kessel, Ellina Kevorkian, Dave Kube, Alison Kuo, Emily La Cour, Julia Barbosa Landois, Stephanie Lerma, Rebecca Leveille, Jasmine Little, Cecilia McKinnon, Maura McHugh, Melissa Potter and Maggie Puckett, Mary Anna Pomonis, Jenn Procacci, Rachel Rivera, Sarah Rockett, Celeia Rocha, Valerie Roybal, Sack (cara despain), Sallie Scheufler, Christy Schwathe, Rebekah Tarín, Kate Cassatt Tatsumi, Charlotte Thurman, Ingrid V.

PROCESS : FIBER April 8 - May 2, 2017 at Light Gallery + Studio 317 Division Ave S, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503 The newest exhibition from Praxis Fiber Workshop, ‘Centrifugal’ aims to relay the force in which artists are connected to each other, to the tradition of fiber art and to the art community in Cleveland. We aim to highlight the power and energy felt from material itself, and how each artists interpretation adds to the momentum of that power.
Four artists from outside of Cleveland will showcase bold and energetic work in hand and jacquard weaving, painted soft sculptures and quilt and fabric installation. Each artist brings to the exhibition their own version of centrifugal force, radiating from the central point of historical craftsmanship.

“THIS PLACE: SELECTIONS FROM THE FRONTIER”JANUARY 7, 2017 @ 6:00 PM - MARCH 2, 2017 @ 7:00 PM 1008 Tahoe Blvd, Incline Village, NV 89451 The town of Green River lies within the lunar landscape of eastern Utah: rock cliffs reveal striations of sediment with boulders clustered below fracturing buttes. Green River is a place where the land is plentiful and the red dust, burnt cliffs, and lonely sky lie just beyond the end of its roads. Prismatic sunsets give way to stars that shine bold and close. If you’ve never seen monolithic terraces under an oceanic sky, Green River is the seeing place. The only town of consequence and place to ford its mighty namesake for many miles, Green River has been a welcomed sight to travelers for well over a century. Uranium mining, the construction of a missile base, and other economic booms led to times of prosperity that proved short-lived. As jobs disappeared and the newly built Interstate 70 routed travelers around rather than through the town, businesses closed shop, buildings fell into disrepair, and the town’s population dwindled to its current size of 952. During the recent recession, Epicenter, an interdisciplinary nonprofit organization, began partnering with the city and residents to reverse Green River’s economic misfortunes and strengthen the community. Epicenter’s visiting artists, Frontier Fellows, prove an integral part of this revitalization by discerning and celebrating Green River’s rural pride and pioneering spirit. This Place: Selections from the Frontier features work from the first five years of Frontier Fellows, visiting artists who have each spent a month in residence in Green River generating place-based work alongside the community. Reception: Opening Reception Sat. Jan. 7 @ 6-8pm, Closing Reception Thur. Mar. 2 @5-7pm Artist Talk: Thur Mar. 2 @ 5:30 PL 320 |
