What will you do?

As a Summer Apprentice, you and fifteen other students will work closely with artist Felandus Thames to learn about silk-screening and branding. You will meet every weekday afternoon for three weeks to collaborate with the artist to rebrand yourself, your peer group, and perhaps even your city, for a silk screen project that will be installed in Artspace’s gallery.

Continuing in the Crown Street Window: Paula Wood’s “Home Front” On view through, May 30

Recognizing that true safety is unachievable, and that the threat of terror and catastrophe is surreal and grotesquely poetic, Paula Wood’s work explores ways of militarizing the home and domesticating threat. In “Home Front,” Wood constructs a bunker out of pillows in Artspace’s highly visible Crown Street Window, inverting common sense notions of safety and comfort.

Inside Out: Student Portraits from the Betsy Ross Arts Magnet School (May 5 – 30)

In this project inspired by international street artist and photographer JR, eighth graders from Betsy Ross push a sense of personal identity to the surface through a series of tightly cropped digital prints on backlight film paper. Displayed in our Orange Street window, the self portraits will be visible from the street and from the gallery: inside and out. 

Calendar:
