Fresh Talk: Influence and Collecting
Wednesday, June 12 :: 4-6pm
@ National Museum for Women in the Arts

According to Arts Economics, 2021 was the first year in history when women collectors and arts patrons outspent men. Celebrated for their efforts to ensure equity, representation, and appreciation of women artists, leading curators and collectors will discuss how art moves through the modern market and is acquired, donated, and displayed. Learn how women and nonbinary people in these roles can influence the representation of women artists in private and public collections.

The panel will be followed by Catalyst Cocktail Hour.

Panelists

Schwanda Rountree, attorney and independent art consultant, Myrtis Bedolla, owner and founding director of Galerie Myrtis, and Sarah Arison, collector and president of the Arison Arts Foundation.

About Women, Arts, and Social Change

Women, Arts, and Social Change is a public programs initiative that highlights the power of women and the arts as catalysts for change. Fresh Talk, the initiative’s signature program, features cause-driven conversations with leading artists, designers, activists, social innovators, and others.

 

 

Pride Portraits
Wednesday, June 12 – Thursday, June 13
@ Current Space

Free for LGBTQIA+ individuals!

Pride Portraits is a two-day community event at Current Space that invites LGBTQIA+ individuals to collaborate with photographer Elena Volkova and create portraits using the wet plate collodion process.

Sessions are available on first come first serve basis.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
A tintype (or, wet plate collodion) is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal coated with collodion and light-sensitive silver nitrate. During the sessions, each plate is hand-coated, exposed in camera, and developed instantly, with the process visible to the participants.

You are welcome to have any style of hair or clothing, however consider the fact that the wet plate process is not sensitive to the “warm” color spectrum, and will make colors that are yellow, orange, and red appear darker.

EYEWEAR: If you wear glasses with UV coating, wet plate collodion process will block the light from the eyes, and the photos will look like you are wearing sunglasses. If you have a pair of glasses without a UV coating, we suggest bringing those to the session. For people wearing glasses, the glasses add a strong element to their visual identity. Thus, we will not ask you to remove them for the photo, but it is up to you. If you have a pair of cheap, non-UV glasses, those work the best!

The process requires a powerful flash of strobes to produce an image. Please note that this process is not suitable for small children or animals.

The sitters will receive the tintypes within two weeks; pick up at Current space.

I invite viewers to delve into Joan Poncella’s world, to feel the love and the depth of her spirit. Joan Poncella is a powerful tribute to my grandmother’s legacy and the rich tapestry of her experiences. Rooted in poise and resilience, this exhibition is a testament to a woman of great pride and unwavering courage. Joan Poncella Sterling has an extraordinary story that deserves to be celebrated and shared.” – Bria Sterling

These pieces are a visual transcription of a song’s sheet music set onto a grid with the notes organized by a color gradient. The pieces incorporate texture to represent the body and auditory feel of the sounds. Surrounding the grid is a flat dark pool of color representing the silence. The work explores whether sound and color evoke similar feelings when experienced with equal weight. Drawnbythmoon.com @alison_kipe

Space Mission | Opening Reception + Placebo Effect | Opening Reception
Friday, June 14 :: 7pm
@ Current Space

Current Space is proud to present ‘Space Mission,’ an exhibition of paintings and sculptures by Se Jong Cho and Iris Hughey exploring humanity’s relationship with space and imagining beyond the terrestrial, also featuring flowers by Crimson & Clover.

Please join us for the Opening Reception Friday, June 14th from 7-10pm!

Born in Seoul, SE JONG CHO makes art to explore the extent of her imagination and broaden her creative domain. She began painting while pursuing her PhD in environmental engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Her training as a scientist taught her to become observant and think critically, and she cultivated her brand of creative expression that combined multidisciplinary perspectives.

IRIS HUGHEY is a multidisciplinary artist from Dallas, Texas. She works sculpturally, primarily using clay and woodworking. Her sculptures and ceramics are humorous and often interactive, involving tactile surfaces, moving mechanisms, and multi-purpose wearables that are enlivened by the viewer/wearer. Her work explores the importance of leisurely play in our lives now more than ever as we live in a fast-moving, emotionally burdened, and overworked civilization.

Exhibit Runs: June 14 – July 13, 2024

Our Art Room – 2024 Application
deadline June 14

Our Art Room (OAR) is a critique series and collective of women, femmes, and gender non-conforming artists in their early careers. This collective is an incubator for emerging and growing artists to expand networks, share resources, and provide accountability to each other in a community setting. This six month critique series begins June 2024, where ten artists will bring works to reflect on their personal practices. The collaborative offers a supportive environment for artists to bypass the exclusionary standards of the ‘art world’ and the institutions that uphold them, and an opportunity to grow intentionally with like minded artists.

Artists identifying as femme, gender non-conforming, or woman may apply to participate in this collective. We are especially calling forward our Queer and Trans BIPOC folks who are looking to expand their practices. OAR was created to function as an antidote to the extractive, exclusive, and exploitative nature of large art galleries, institutions, and organizations. Our approach is based on the intersectional understanding of how race, class, and gender informs one’s access to the privileges and levels of mobility in the art world. We aim to bypass this. OAR is a space that intends to pour into people who are seeking to expand their professional practices, while not having to sacrifice their personhood regardless of their positionality.

A snapshot of what is offered (free of charge):
• 3 group critiques
• 1 guest critique with well established guest artists
• 3 community professional development/creative workshops
• The collective’s shared network, resource pool, community feedback
• Culminating Fall group show
• Weekend group retreat in Upstate NY

Timeline:
• June 22 – Collective critique
• July 20 – Collective critique
• August 17 – Collective critique
• September 21 – Guest artist critique
• October 5 – Group Show
• November 1-3 – Group Retreat Upstate NY

What is expected:
As an artist collective, we aim to be committed to each other for the time we are collaborating and supporting each other within this container. There are no application or participation fees required of participants to receive the benefits of this collective. We only ask that our members offer the energy and intention that the collective will be offering our members.

This commitment involves the following:
• Being present minimum 3/4 group critiques
• Be willing to offer your resources, networks, and knowledge
• Be committed to your personal authenticity in your work and how you show up
• Support in the installation of your works
• Be ready to show up for others

***Application submissions due June 14 at 11:59p***
