Visiting the Torpedo Factory Art Center (Dec 8 and 9)

On Thursday morning I am leaving MKE for a whirlwind trip to Alexandria, Virginia/Washington D.C. I will arrive on Thursday afternoon, and will have the opportunity that evening, to attend the opening of Petri Dish (exhibition information can be found in a previous post below). On Friday, I will be giving a public lecture about my work, and giving a workshop on some of the transfer processes I have been playing with over the past couple of years. Here is the handbill for the workshop!

Two Grants to Help Push Through the Holidays~

This week, I received two grants from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

One comes from the Art and Design Department to assist with the cost of promoting my upcoming project expansion- Laws of Nature, at the Racine Arts Council Artspace this summer.

The other is a grant funded by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce to attend the Entrepreneur Training Program at UWM. I will be writing a business plan while enrolled in this program. Look out Milwaukee!

Upcoming Exhibition

Petri Dish
Exhibition Dates: December 1 – 31
Reception: December 8, 6-8pm; juror talk @7pm

Target Gallery
Torpedo Factory Art Center
105 N. Union St.
Alexandria, VA 22314

Petri Dish is an all media small works exhibit that has the primary focus of artist experimentation. Petri dish brings to mind the very idea of experimentation. What does it bring to mind for artists? That is the question and the challenge that we are asking artists to figure out. The work must fit within the parameters of a standard petri dish {100mmx15mm (approx. 4 in)}.

Our juror is Jesse Cohen, DC artist, scientist, and gallery owner. In 2004, he founded artdc.org, a grass roots movement with a membership of over 2400 members. In 2009 he founded Fine Art Ventures, LLC and the artdc Gallery in Hyattsville, MD.
