Efflorescence

Photography Capstone Exhibition

April 29 – May 3, 2025

Reception: Friday, May 2nd | 6-8PM

Leah Sobsey’s Capstone Photography Class exhibition, Efflorescence, features works from the following participating students: Zainab Adamou-Mohamed, Christopher W. Drew, Dulce Gonzalez, Morgan Hesse, Amari Melton, and Khaylah Newell. The definition of Efflorescence is the action or process of developing and unfolding as if coming into flower. As photographers in their senior year and on the cusp of a new chapter, they found the metaphor of flowering to best reflect how they are feeling. This process of blooming resonates with them as they continue to evolve, each seeing the world through their own lens.

Under Pressure

An Exhibition That Explores How Pressure Shapes, Challenges, and Inspires

Featuring Local, Undergraduate Artists from UNCG, Guilford College, and A&T University

Curated by GPS Interns: Lucy Terry, Elissa Ukhueligbe, and Rachel Witzel

Exhibition: April 29 – May 2, 2025

Reception: Friday, May 2nd, 6-8p

More About Under Pressure

How does pressure shape, challenge, or inspire you? From personal struggles to societal pressures, we seek art that explores the transformative power of adversity. How adversity—whether physical, emotional, or external—can lead to growth, innovation, and change. Under Pressure is an opportunity to reflect on the pressure points that define our lives: moments that push us beyond limits, that break us open or forge us anew.

More About The GPS Student Intern Curators

Lucy Terry

My goal as an artist is to create an escape, not just for the viewer, but for myself. The constant pressure that is on student artists makes it near impossible to relax into the escapism that art can provide. Through this exhibition, I hope that all of my Greensboro student peers can allow themselves to move freely through their own artistic expression, without the threat of a grade or evaluation looming over them. My hope is that this exhibition creates a safe space for free expression while also celebrating the unique, fresh, and unfiltered style of student artists.

Elissa Ukhueligbe

I believe people can connect to each other through a shared struggle. There are common adversities for all people, no matter their background. Art can be a way to critique systems that harm people. In addition, it can inspire empathy, action, and compassion. I hope this exhibition can allow people to feel seen through artwork. We included artists in multiple Greensboro schools; hopefully cultivating a sense of community through shared emotions.

Rachel Witzel

What I hoped to cultivate with the show Under Pressure was a body of work that reflected the universal weight we carry as students and artists. While everyone, artist or not, experiences their own unique stresses and pressures throughout their lives, it’s as artists and creatives that we are able to communicate how they affect us. For me, art is its own form of communication. What began as symbolic paintings on cave walls has now become a tool for us to open channels of connection with others who might share in our experiences– or discover something new about themselves through the art we share.

Third Annual BA ART Exhibition

Third Annual BA Art Exhibition 2025

Curated by UNCG Students Sarah Dawkins & Beyonce Kee

Exhibition: May 6 – 10, 2025

Reception: Saturday, May 10th, 6-8p

This is the third annual instillation of the Bachelor of Arts Student Art Exhibition. This exhibition is rooted in giving BA majors a space to exhibit the work they’ve been working on throughout their degree. BA students approached Greensboro Project Space to open an exhibition to celebrate graduating BA students. Many students had compiled work throughout their degree and wanted to share. Pursuing a BA gives students a wide net to cast into creative waters as we pursue academia in the arts. Having a collaged community of artists studying in this context gives us creative exposure to each other’s making practices as we share our work within and outside of that community.

More About Curator, Sarah Dawkins

As my art studies have altered during my time at UNCG my love and admiration for the study of art and the space has only grown as this expansion is embedded in my practice. Being exposed and encouraged to a range of materials and methodology through study of art history and portfolio building early on with peers specifically has been so broadening for my psyche and life. I’m taking away creative broadening treasures with me, passed down from well versed faculty that I will use throughout my practice.

More About Curator, Beyonce Kee

As a BA student and student curator, I co-curated this exhibition not just to uplift our peers but because curating became an unexpected passion that grew from my love of building artistic community. My first experiences organizing shows revealed how powerful it is to create space for others, and this exhibition continues that mission. With no set theme, the work on display reflects the individuality, experimentation, and vision of each artist. This show is both a celebration and a declaration: that our voices matter, and that curatorial work can be an act of care, advocacy, and joy.

May 23rd | 6-8p, Celebratory Reception

Greensboro Project Space is pleased to present its 3rd Annual Summer Studios: Arts on Site! student residency program. This residency program will assist in educating students that GPS can also act as makerspace, where they can play, experiment, take creative risks, and develop their artistic voice.

Designed to support UNCG undergraduate student artists (BA + BFA) striving to develop, adapt, and/or reinvent their creative process and to promote artistic growth and development, artists are afforded two-weeks of uninterrupted research and development, coupled with financial support and public presentational platforms to share their creative work. The residency’s mission is to be an adaptive space to build a sustaining art community for our UNCG students so their creativity and connection to the Greensboro community thrives.

May Cohort

Linda Boike (BA Printmaking and Drawing) intends to investigate her repeatable processes by setting up stations for herself that will serve to keep her busy. She wants to reap and sow. She has more recently been marrying her artistic process with her writing process, which she would like to incorporate into the residency with hopes of involving other participating artists in doing pass around poems for basic idea generation. She also has a desire to expand on previous work themes and make more worms, creatures, and color/darkness poems. Spending time in one place will always cause accumulation.

Melanie McAllister’s (BFA Painting) artistic practice is rooted in the sensual and tactile nature of oil painting, which she uses as a means of catharsis and personal reflection. Primarily focused on figurative oil paintings, she explores themes of vulnerability, spirituality, and the formative experiences that have shaped her identity. She aims to create a visual language that reaches beyond her individual experience and resonates with those who view it. She intends to experiment with different paint application methods and processes to help push her approach to these thematic elements and push her work to larger scales.

Jalen Williams (BFA Printmaking and Drawing) plans to explore alternative forms of printmaking and drawing practices. This includes methods such as monoprinting, gelli plate printing, and kitchen lithography. He wants to investigate what are the most portable and easily accessible ways of doing printmaking practices on the go. When viewing most printmaking techniques, most require a sum of items and accessible studio space, such as press machines, various chemicals, and tools. With the residency, he will propose ways both himself and others can explore the world of printmaking on a smaller scale with more accessibility.

Morgan Hesse (BFA Photography) plans to deepen her exploration into experimental alternative photographic processes, building upon previous work with cyanotypes. Her goal is to venture into new territories by experimenting with lumens, anthotypes, and other unconventional techniques. The intended project will culminate in a series of unique images, each capturing the dynamic interplay between light, chemicals, and natural materials. A central component of her plan involves constructing a custom UV light box. This tool will allow her to control exposure precisely while experimenting with various materials such as water, dirt, salt, and other substances directly on the surfaces.

More About Cloudy

I go for regular bicycle rides scanning the horizon and the road before me. The ever-present sky always has something to show me — as does the roadway. For over a year I have focused on daily sketch studies of clouds, a practice of the fundamentals of artmaking as a way of welcoming a renewed concept of flow. I meditate on how to represent the clouds with making marks on collected bits of paper. The challenge is to use what is before me — foreign & familiar, in a way new & known to share a way of upliftingly seeing through challenges inside and outside. It is a Cloudy departure from my normal way of practice, yet informs everything I do.

This project is funded in part by the 2025 Forsyth County Regional Artist Support Grant and the North Carolina Arts Council.
