T-SHIRT CONTEST  for “The ‘F’ Word” exhibition

In December 2014, ARC will present the juried exhibition “The ‘F’ Word: Feminism Now”.  As part of the exhibition, ARC will be making T-shirts commemorating the show.  In conjunction, ARC has decided to have an open call to design the graphic of the T-shirt. Artists and designers are being asked to create an original front image for the T-shirt.  The T-shirt must also include specific wording for the front and back of the shirt in addition to an image.  See “T-shirt Specs” on prospectus for required information.

Show ran from 9/3/2014 to 9/27/2014

For the first time in her 20 plus years as an artist, Stutts has left behind her usual hand-painted decorative marks that have been known to soften the edges of hard to digest subject matter. Instead, she has created a series of assemblage pieces for her upcoming show Beaudeadful that consists of found objects and animal remains. Whether forged by humans or born of nature, both media once had a purpose in life before being abandoned, or left to nature’s tidings. Despite their course, each has retained its beauty, strength, and intricate form. Stutts’ fascination with rescuing and combining objects that have unlikely and unnatural relationships with one another creates a new energy. Defining that energy is up to the eye of the beholder.

Esther Murphy, a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, presents My Mirror, a photographic exhibition. The photographs presented in the exhibition depict a type of experience that is repeated, much like a recurring dream, wherein the interpretation changes at each recurrence. The titles are meant to imply narrative and evoke connotative meaning. The work explores the expansive qualities of interpretation and the derivation of meaning.

When Grezdo came to the US, he was surprised by the American obsession with religion and also, ironically, with material things. He began to create works with the use of humor and irony, that are a commentary on this observation. Humor is an important part of his work, because humor can have a very serious meaning. Through the use of painting, stencils and screen printing, the works in his exhibit, In That I Trust, are a catalyst nudging the viewer into thinking about religion without taking sides “for” or “against.”
