2011 Art Ready: Selected Work from the Artist Mentorship Program

Opening Reception

Wednesday, May 18, 6pm

Student Artists: Andreina Avalos, Eugenia Baidoo, Yarhissa Balbuena, Elijah Barrott, Tori Brooks, Anayeli Correa, Octavia Davis, Brittany DiBenedetto, Akeel Douglas, Brittany Flaherty, Joseph Foster, Naomi Gomez, Roxaony Henriquez, Hana Jones, Zipporah Meredith, Catherine Moreno, Adriana Munoz, Courtney Pierce, Marcos Taveras      

This exhibition presented the work of nineteen students who participated in the 2010-2011 session of Art Ready. Working one-on-one with professional painters, architects, installation artists, jewelry and fashion designers, graphic designers, video artists, and photographers, the student artists created an impressive range of work in a variety of media. This includes: a digital travel photo montage; a stop-motion animation bringing household objects to life; a collage exploring teen media portrayals; articles of clothing patched and altered by hand; and paintings and drawings of both still lives from nature and characters from the imagination. Two students worked with a jewelry designer to create original rings, one student collaborated with a professional architect on a plan for a community health and recreation center, and another pair worked with commercial designers on their own teen magazine.
