Signs and Symbols: The Community Arts Initiative Artist Project

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 16:50:18 +0000

For the “Signs and Symbols” project, children from after-school programs and community organizations across Boston looked at how words and characters are paired together to convey messages. Working with Cambridge-based artist and author Caleb Neelon, the children then created signs featuring their own verbal and character-driven messages.

The Community Arts Initiative is generously supported by the Linde Family Foundation.

Washington DC

Ryan met up with Washington DC residents in front of the Nations Capitol Building in November of 2008 here is a clip of what Will had to say about the disappointment of the George W Bush administration as well as his thoughts on Barack Obama’s future as the 44th President of the United States of America.

********************

Barack Hussein Obama II born August 4, 1961 is the President-elect of the United States and the first African American to be elected President of the United States. Obama was the junior United States Senator from Illinois from 2005 until he resigned on November 16, 2008, following his election to the Presidency. His term of office as the 44th U.S. president begins January 20, 2009.

He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was president of the Harvard Law Review. Obama worked as a community organizer and practiced as a civil rights attorney before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate in January 2003, won a primary victory in March 2004, and was elected to the Senate in November 2004. Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004.

As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress, he helped create legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. During the 110th Congress, he helped create legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for U.S. military personnel returning from combat assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Young Artists at Work 15th Anniversary Kickstarter Fundraiser

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 12:00:18 +0000

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ybca/the-anniversary-print

Support a week-long printmaking master class that celebrates 15 years of Young Artists at Work and produces limited edition silkscreens for our backers!

The Story
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco developed a youth arts program fifteen years ago to give arts education opportunities to talented teen artists from underserved and disadvantaged communities. The program, called Young Artists at Work (YAAW), offers youth a hands-on experience in curating, art-making and media activism. The basic idea is simple: identify public schools where the arts programs have suffered the most, find students/budding artists at these schools who would benefit from the program, provide support and skills training to encourage the inner artist to flourish, and connect them to their immediate artistic community with a summer internship. Since the programs inception, over 300 young artists have participated in this program and they, in turn, have expanded the impact of the program to provided peer education to over 7,500 youth.

The Project
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the youth arts program, we would like to create a limited edition silkscreen print as part of a week-long master printmaking class for current and past YAAW students who have shown promise in the medium. These 15 students will use the state-of-the-art facilities at Kala Art Institute (www.kala.org) to further their design and printing skills. Each student will produce one 15×18 self-designed silkscreen as part of the class in addition to a limited edition 15×18 anniversary silkscreen in collaboration with artist and teacher, Josefina Jacquin (http://josefinajacquin.com/). Our goal is to raise $7,000 to pay for the artist and studio time, as well as the materials used in the printmaking process, transportation costs and shipping fees.

About Our Collaborators: Kala Art Institute and Josefina Jacquin
Kala Art Institute, founded in 1974 by Archana Horsting and Yuzo Nakano as an international workshop and forum for ideas, provides exceptional facilities to professional artists working in all forms of printmaking, digital media, photography, and book arts. Located in the former Heinz ketchup factory in West Berkeley since 1979, Kalas 8,500 square foot facility houses an extensive array of artmaking equipment, as well as a public exhibition gallery, an art library and an extensive print archive.

A native of Santa Marta, Colombia, Josefina Jacquin obtained her BA at San Francisco State University (1995), and her M.F.A. at The San Francisco Art Institute (1997). Josefina has consistently exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions in the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically at The de Young Museum, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, The Museum of the Legion of Honor and in numerous institutions both in the United States and overseas. Her work has also been included in permanent collections of the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco and The Museum of Modern Art in Cartagena, Colombia.
