2011-02-18T06:54:00.001-08:00

Please join us, on Friday, Feb. 25th, from 4-5pm in the Meyerhoff Private Dining Room for an informational session about creating an Active Minds Student Chapter at MICA.

By developing and supporting chapters of a student-run mental health awareness, education, and advocacy group on campuses, Active Minds works to increase students’ awareness of mental health issues, provide information and resources regarding mental health and mental illness, encourage students to seek help as soon as it is needed, and serve as liaison between students and the mental health community.

Active Minds aims to remove the stigma that surrounds mental health issues, and create a comfortable environment for an open conversation about mental health issues on campuses throughout North America.

Baltimore Open City.

2011-01-31T12:32:00.000-08:00

An open city is a place where everyone feels welcome, regardless of such things as wealth, race or religion. In every neighborhood of an open city, one feels like he or she belongs. Does Baltimore feel open or does housing discrimination, bad public transportation, and the privatization of public space separate people and create an uneven distribution of opportunity? For the exhibition Baltimore Open City, students of Maryland Institute College of Art’s Exhibition Development Seminar invited scholars, activists, community- based organizations, local artists and visiting artist Damon Rich to create a series of installations, workshops and other public programs that investigate the ways in which Baltimore is and is not an open city. We welcome our neighbors to join us in exploring what an open city might look and feel like.
Call for Entries
At this time, Baltimore Open City would like to invite artists, designers, architects, educators, community groups and all other interested parties to participate in our exhibition. We are looking for people to contribute original and informative works of two- and three- dimensional art and design. The work submitted should be relevant to the idea of the “open” city in general and/or Baltimore specifically. Only finished work will be considered for acceptance.
Submission
Send your submission to info@baltimoreopencity.com with the subject line “Call for Entries.” In the body of your email, list the name(s) of the artist(s), an email address, the title of your submission, the medium (what it’s made out of), the date it was completed and the dimensions. Also include a short artist statement (a description of the submission and the ideas behind it) and a biography (a description of the artist/group that made the submission). Don’t forget to attach a photograph of your submission to the email.
Multiples
If your submission is a “multiple”—such as a zine, pamphlet or brochure—and is accepted for exhibition, you should deliver 100 copies by the delivery deadline and be prepared to produce more if necessary during the running time of the exhibition. Judging Submissions will be chosen for acceptance by the Maryland Institute College of Art students who are producing Baltimore Open City.
Insurance
Baltimore Open City is unable to provide insurance coverage for submissions while in transit or while on its premises for exhibition purposes.
DEADLINE FEB 26

Don't forget about the "Same Boat Poetry Slam" at MICA Place this Sunday 4-6 pm

And finally an important message from our friends over at 901 Arts:

901 Arts is a non-profit arts organization that provides very low cost or free after-school programming for youth in the Better Waverly community in visual art and music. We host art classes for kids in 3rd through 8th grade Mondays and Wednesdays 4:30-6pm every week. For our upcoming semester of programming, we hope to include a variety of visiting artists during our art classes to expose the youth to different forms of art making, and to bring new people to our organization. We are extremely open to different mediums, and the kids love trying new things.

We are looking for artists interested in coming in for one or more art classes to show some of their own work to the class, and to teach a skill that you are particularly interested in. We also have a large open window used to display work, which could be a great opportunity for you to display your work along with the things made in the art class.

If this seems like something you may be interested in, please email me at cait.m.byrnes@gmail.com and we can talk more!

Thanks!

happy new year!

2011-01-03T08:50:00.000-08:00

wondering what other CAP interns are up to?

it's just me, up here on my soapbox.

2010-11-15T11:56:00.001-08:00

So I feel like I haven't been using this blog as well as I could be so here goes, my first ever narrative post. I hope I don't bore you! I've never blogged before (As is probably obvious from my usage of this space thus far) but I'm going to try and give you all weekly updates from here on out. If you hate them, let me down nicely. If you enjoy them let money rain from the heavens. Or, ya know, just keep coming back for more. For those of you interested in sharing your projects, experiences and/or thoughts about CAP let me know, I would love to share this page with all of you. Afterall it's a community thing.

So, This weekend we had our second CAP social of the semester and It. Was. Awesome. We played with kittens, ate pizza, and made mii's to play wii bowling. Two hours of Saturday afternoon bliss. We also talked about possibilities for our end of semester celebration activity (more on that momentarily). This was the last social of the semester but if you want to hang out with your fellow CAP interns this semester DON'T WORRY, there's still time!

I am hosting a movie night on December 5th from 4-7pm. In case you haven't heard, our last movie night was pretty great. We watched Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing", ate take-out food, and had a great discussion revolving around race. For those of you who know me even a little bit you know race based issues are something I'm VERY passionate about. So I have to say thank you for those students who attended the movie night and indulged me in the glorious conversation we had. I hope you got as much out of it as I did. (sidenote: if any of you are upset about missing that particular discussion topic or are interested in chatting about race/racism as it affects your CAP work, art work or just life in general do not hesitate to stop by my office).

Now, back to the celebration I mentioned above: I am currently planning an end of semester celebration. Will we go bowling? Have a party in the BBOX perhaps (maybe we can get a certain staff member to DJ?!)? Rollerskating? It's still up in the air but stay tuned for updates soon!

I know I feel like this semester has FLOWN by and quite frankly I'm having a little trouble with the fact that winter is just about here. I hope you are all coping with the speed of time and changing of seasons better than I seem to be. Additionally, I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving planned, be it here in Baltimore or elsewhere. I know I'm looking forward to caviar, noodle stuffing and pudding pie.

check it.

Dear CAP and MACA Students,

I am currently working on starting up an online journal in conjunction with the National Art Education Association Student Chapter. The purpose of this journal is to draw attention to the importance of bringing art into the public realm. The journal will be broken up into three sections: Art Educators, Community Project Coordinators, and Public Artists. I am currently seeking out individuals who are interested in helping out with this project. The first issue of the journal, which will appear online, and if possible in hard copy in select locations on campus. There are many ways in which you can contribute. We are in the process of coordinating our first meeting where we will discuss topics such as interviewing individuals and doing write ups on interesting events, the layout and structure of the journal, as well as writing for the journal on your own behalf whether it be about a project that you participated in/coordinated or an article discussing in general your opinions about bringing art into the community.
I will also be receiving submissions from MAT students and other MICA community members who bring art in to the public. My hope is that by creating this journal and having it readily available to the local community; we can promote the importance of art and influence artists who read it consider the possibility of sharing their skills and talents with their local community.

As stated above we are currently coordinating our first meeting.

If you are interested in participating please contact the CAP office at cap@mica.edu or 410.225.2347

check out these exhibitions coming soon.

ADVOCATE THROUGH ART

Works from the House of Ruth Maryland, 2009-2010
Enoch Pratt's Central Library @ 400 Cathedral Street Baltimore, MD 21201
September 18-October 31
Event on October 20, details TBA

This exhibition is designed to create awareness about domestic violence. The artworks, conceived of and made by survivors of abuse in the agency's emergency shelter, address the myriad issues and warning signs connected with abusive relationships.

Accompanying the visual works created by domestic violence survivors is an oral histories project called "What Gives People Power," in which staff, clients, and volunteers from the House of Ruth discuss their definitions of power as it relates to their life experience. The exhibition highlights that individuals can break the cycle of violence by giving voice to this issue.

For more information about Advocate Through Art and the House Of Ruth Maryland visit the website: http://hruth.org/AdvocateArt.asp and for more info about What Gives People Power, visit the blog: http://whatgivespeoplepower.wordpress.com/

THE FOOD NETWORK
Creative Alliance, 3134 Eastern Ave Baltimore MD 21224
September 18-October 31
Opening Reception September 18, 5:30-7:30pm

This fall, Baltimore Development Cooperative and friends gathers a caucus of artists, educators, activists, urban planners, gardeners, and chefs to convert the Creative Alliance’s Main Gallery at The Patterson into the headquarters for a celebratory, mobile farmers market – selling food, sharing ideas, and shedding light on the limited availability of fresh, healthy food to most city residents. Alongside a borrowed Arabbers’ cart and one designed and built by BDC are video, photographs, and art activities. The carts and trailers leave the building periodically – sometimes with marching bands in tow – to visit neighborhoods and festivals, with fresh produce and a revolving assortment of activities and information.

Join us for the opening reception on September 18, with fresh food provided by Hampstead Hills Academy, the Baltimore Montessori Public Charter School, Great Kids Farms, and Woodberry Kitchen.

Also join us for the first Mobile Market in Better Waverly on October 2, 4pm-6pm, for a procession of food and information. After the mobile event, stay for a celebration at 901 ARTs Sculpture Garden (901 Montpelier Ave) at 6pm, and Nana Project's How To Grow A Pickle puppet show at dusk.

FORCE: on the Culture of Rape is a collection of art, performance, discussion, and critique about unwanted sexual experience.

By presenting these stories and pairing them with provocative imagery, the works challenge viewers to consider how oppressive cycles are perpetuated. While presenting problems, the show also suggests ways to change our situation. To prevent rape, our conversation cannot be one-sided; come to see the show and contribute your voice to this essential but rare conversation.

The show is curated by Rebecca Nagle and Hannah Brancato. Participating artists: Rahne Alexander, Theresa Columbus, Cecelia Condit, Rebecca Di Meo, Dynasty Handbag, Chris Ferrara, Martin Figueroa-Ramirez, Carrie Fucile, the Harrisburg Collective, Ulf Kristiansen, Sarah McCann, Angie Young, New Lens Productions, Robbie Rackliff, PuppeTyranny, and Mason Ross.

get involved with an exciting new Community Arts Journal!!

2010-06-11T08:07:00.000-07:00

I am currently working on starting up a journal called Focusing on Community. The purpose of this journal is to draw attention to the importance of bringing art into the public realm. The journal will be broken up into three sections: Art Educators, Community Project Coordinators, and Public Artists. I am currently seeking submissions for the first issue of the journal, which will appear online, and if possible in hard copy in select locations on campus this fall semester. There are many ways in which you can contribute. Submissions may include an article on your beliefs of the benefits of community , a summary of a lesson or community project you have been involved with ( this could be discussing the project itself and the positive benefits that resulted), or even simply an image of a group art project or lesson with a paragraph explaining what it was. I will also be receiving submissions from MAT students and other MICA community members who bring art in to the public. My hope is that by creating this journal and having it readily available to the local community; we can promote the importance of art and influence artists who read it consider the possiblity of sharing their skills and talents with their local community.

If you are interested in making a sumbission please email me with a summary of what it is you would like to write about. If you are unsure or want to know more, you can send me an email with any questions and/or comments. I hope everyone is having a great summer and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,

Sarah K. Damiano
