ELSEWHERE ARTIST COLLABORATIVE

2009 residencies for artists, writers, musicians, curators and cultural producers

Elsewhere, an arts production site and experimental museum in downtown Greensboro, NC, is seeking artists, curators, writers, musicians, and cultural producers for residencies during the Summer and Fall 2009 seasons. Set within a former thrift store housing a 58-year collection of American surplus, thrift, and antiques, Elsewhere invites experimental creators to utilize the immense collection of objects to pursue site-specific material, conceptual, and/or technologically-based projects.

Elsewhere’s building—two storefronts on the ground floor, a 14-room boarding house on the second, and warehouse on the third—provides dynamic architectures for the creation and installation of works. Artists live and work within transforming installations; these interactive environments become platforms for re-conceptualizing the theory and practice of art-making as an ongoing process of exchange in community. Within a store where nothing is for sale, Elsewhere offers an unparalleled framework for creative practices, processes and productions outside the traditional gallery, museum, and residency systems.

See the complete call for artists and application deadlines at http://www.elsewhereelsewhere.org/residencies.html
Creators of all kinds and collaborative groups can email residencies@elsewhereelsewhere.org for an application and brochure. We review applications at the end of each month.

the Kelly Writers House and the Philadelphia Dramatists Center present

a workshop presentation of "Dandelion Momma"
a play by ArtsEdge Resident GREG ROMERO
directed by WALLY ZIALCITA
dramaturgy by TERRI EPP

performed by
KEVIN BERGER, WENDIE HETHERINGTON, BRENNA SCHIMAN, MIRIAM WHITE

Monday, 4/20 at 7:00 PM
the Writers House garden | 3805 Locust Walk
no registration required - free and open to the public
-----------------------------------------------------

In "Dandelion Momma," an eight year-old girl takes care of wayward dandelions and sees the lights inside of people. A farm girl and a writer search for life inside of each other while planting seeds in the hardened soil of the Great Depression. A one hundred year-old woman reflects on her life through broken pieces of memory. The ground becomes
harder, the girl becomes tired, the air becomes heavier, and something new must be born.

GREG ROMERO'S plays have been produced off-off Broadway by City Attic Theatre and Working Man's Clothes Productions, and across the country by Salvage Vanguard Theater, Rude Mechanicals Theatre Collective, Theater In My Basement, Specific Gravity Ensemble, Actors Theatre of Louisville, and in elevators, porches, warehouses, loft apartments, punk stages, museums, basement crawl spaces, and public bathrooms. Romero has been
commissioned by The Cardboard Box Collaborative, Austin Script Works, and Audacity Theatre Lab, and is a member of Philadelphia Dramatists Center, and The Dramatists Guild of America. He has been a finalist for the Heideman Award, a semi-finalist for the Princess Grace Award and his works have been published by Heinemann Press and Playscripts, Inc. Romero received a BA in Liberal Arts from the Louisiana Scholars College and an MFA in Playwriting from The University of Texas-Austin where he held the James A. Michener Fellowship. Most recently, Romero was selected as the first-ever Resident Writer of the ArtsEdge Residency, created by The Kelly Writers House and The University of Pennsylvania.

ARTS EDGE is a new collaborative residency project designed to encourage the careers of emergent writers and artists. Through ArtsEdge, the Kelly Writers House, the Fine Arts Department of the School of Design, and Penn's Facilities and Real Estate Services (FRES) will subsidize the rent of a shared live/work space near Penn's campus for an emergent writer and artist. ArtsEdge aims to support the creative work of young artists and writers, create a live/work environment that will inspire interdisciplinary exploration, and enrich West Philadelphia by encouraging young writers and artists to live and work here. Residencies last for one year and include a dedicated studio for each writer/artist, shared living space, and close affiliation with the writing and artistic communities at Penn. During the course of their residencies, writers and artists will be encouraged to develop at least one collaborative project with the Writers House or Fine Arts Department. Qualified applicants may also be considered to teach one course at Penn in the spring semester.

CALL TO ARTISTS: Summer in the City
Projects Gallery announces a call to artists for its June-July 2009 Juried Art Exhibition entitled “Summer in the City”. The steamy summer months often prompt residents to flee; but for the segment that remains, there is a certain magic to the sticky days and long nights.

We want art that captures that unique sensibility of summer in the city with a distinct Philadelphia flavor. Entrants may present work of any media or subject, but artists must be located in the greater Philadelphia and Delaware Valley region. We are looking to discover emerging, established and/or outsider artists with a mixed media approach and urban sensibility.

Prizes: A “Best In Show” prize of $300 will be awarded by artist Frank Hyder.

To Enter: There is a non-refundable entry fee of $25.00 (U.S.) per artist for up to five entries. Additional detail images are permitted.

Diverse Paths: Mid-Atlantic MFA Graduate Student Work opens April 9
UD@Crane presents Diverse Paths: Mid-Atlantic MFA Graduate Student Work an exhibition that features the work of regional graduate students.

The exhibition opens Thursday, April 9, 2009 and concludes on Thursday, May 3, 2009.
Diverse Paths… is the result of a productive collaboration between University of Delaware studio art and art history graduate students. Students from both departments worked together to organize, curate, and install the exhibition in an interdisciplinary cooperative effort. The exhibition showcases the works of current MFA students from Penn State University, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Rutgers University, Tyler School of Art- Temple University, The University of the Arts, and University of Pennsylvania.
Themes explored address the tension between the interior, subjective dimension and the exterior, larger world. While some works are executed with traditional artist’s materials, others incorporate found objects and installation. The techniques and materials employed engage issues of identity and the desire for communication and interactivity.

Featured artists include: Mike Treffehn, Marie Rim, Erin M. Riley, Caitlin Magner, Joseph Lozano, Chris Lawrence, Erica Harney, Caroline Gilpin, Katie Dillon, Paul DeMuro, and Jessica Bottalico.

The curators are Jim Zeske, Katsi Ortiz, Jennifer Jones O’Neil, Shushana Muldowney, Claudia Torres Guillemard, Molly Fletcher, Kenny Delio, Meghan Read Constantinou, Cody Bloom, and LaTanya S. Autry. Jennifer Jones O’Neil is the director of this exhibition.
UD@Crane is a two-story, 3,000 square foot space, which presents all practices of visual art, music, and literary and performing arts. UD’s establishment of a satellite arts campus at the Crane enhances regional visibility of our visual and performing arts departments..
