Fresh A.I.R. (Artists in Recovery) Gallery will feature Every Little Bit, the photography and journal work of Andrea Dawson-Johnston opening on July 28, 2010.

Andrea says “My art work tends to focus on the duality of my life, my disorders, my physical appearance and the complex nature of self that I project to the world. My work is my voice when there are no words; it is my face behind the mask. I enjoy working with many forms of media, but I find digital photography and journaling equal favorites; grounding me with solid, tangible evidence that this moment happened.”

A Day in the Life of Charlottesville

Artwork by Charlotte McGraw

January 27 — March 5, 2010

A Day in the Life of Charlottesville is artwork created by Charlotte McGraw. Charlotte says as she creates work and simultaneously weaves a story giving the viewer a small glimpse into the lives of her creations. “The creatures I create all live in my town “Charlottesville” a modern day “Winesburg Ohio” where I am the permanent mayor. I learn many things about myself while I make an image. Some of the little monsters scare me, some make me laugh, and others I empathize with. I see much of myself in each creature that makes my town their home. Most come from backgrounds that make them feel isolated, invisible and some have even called themselves “misfits.” When someone comes to my town they are given a voice, a job, and a family, everything else is icing on the cake. Since I’m the mayor/creator of this town I like the idea of having such a major influence on their lives, I think the words getting around because the town just keeps growing. Each person has their story.” Charlotte is a United Cerebral Palsy Art Bridge Studio artist.

Window of Hope: Come and Share the View. Through this Friday at Fresh A.I.R. Gallery.

"Art can serve as a powerful vehicle toward communication and healing when words and discussions fall short."

This exhibit is about restoring a connection: between victims of domestic violence and a community through a visual narrative form -ART. In the context of domestic violence, the response of the community is one of the greatest factors in determining the success of the recovery process of the victim, and restoring her sense of order and justice.

However, revealing one’s experience in sexual and domestic life often invites public humiliation, ridicule, and disbelief; and women were silenced by fear and shame, and the silence of women gave license to every form of sexual and domestic exploitation.

These extraordinary sixteen women living at the YWCA Columbus Women’s Residency are the VOICE of survivors who refuse to remain silent. This exhibit is a window for sharing the images of their hope, survival and strength. We are grateful to all the artists who generously shared their stories and expressions for this project. This exhibit is dedicated to them and to all survivors of domestic violence.

Sabrina Chapman

2008-10-06T10:52:00.000-07:00

Fresh A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to present Grandmother's Curtains, mixed media installation by Sabrina Chapman.

An opening reception with the artist will take place on Wednesday October 8, 2008 from 5:30pm – 7:00pm. The exhibit will continue through October 31. The reception is free and open to the public.

The exhibit "Grandmother's Curtains" encompasses a tragic story which hit Sabrina Chapman's family about a year ago. Her sister, who is bipolar, was poorly medicated by a state agency and was struggling with alcoholism, was in a house fire. It was her grandparent’s house. She was badly burned and the house burnt to the ground. A lot of memories that were lost. Her Grandmother always had the most beautiful curtains. She remembers the way the white shears would play against the rays of light coming through the bay window.

Sabrina Chapman's art is about time, process, material, the aesthetic form, sentimental nostalgia, composition, deeper questioning. She organizes objects collected into 2 and 3 dimensional forms. She finds these objects in her dad’s basement, grandmother’s attic, garage sales, thrift stores, even street markets in Paris and Madrid. She identifies with these objects; in pieces scattered over the world, she finds the pieces of herself.

Carefully compiling compositions of found objects to awaken and encourage the viewer to question the objects he or she engages with in his or her life as well as arouse a multitude of deeper questioning.

ArtCycle Project
Columbia Art League's Art in the Park
Columbia, MO
June 7 and 8, 2008
Deadline - May 23, 2008

At this year's Golden Jubilee Art in the Park in Columbia, Missouri, art and cycling are going tandem, with a new art project called ArtCycle: a competitive art project with a $1000 top prize. ArtCycles are defined as working bicycles transformed into works of art. The bicycles should still be rideable, have anywhere from 1 to 3 wheels, and be weatherproof, other than that, the only bounds are each artist's creativity. Alongside the competitively entered ArtCycles, ten local artists have been commissioned to create their own ArtCycles, which will all be launched at Columbia's Bike Walk & Wheel Week from 3-10 May. The ten commissioned ArtCycles and the winners from the ArtCycle competition will all be placed around the city to create a public art project through the summer.

There is no cost to enter an ArtCycle either in the competition or the parade. Any questions, should be sent to Diana Moxon at artleague@centurytel.net or by phone to 573-443-8838. Click here to download an entry form and obtain more information about the event.
