SUMMARY:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! The GPS Student Artist Residency Program
DESCRIPTION:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! \n\n\n\nThe GPS Student Residency Program\n\n\n\nAugust Artists-in-Residence: mckenna jones\, Melanie St Clair\, Remus Steward\, knia Williamson\,\n\n\n\nAugust Cohort | August 4 – 16\, 2025\n\n\n\nPublic Open Studio Hours:\n\n\n\nAug 11th | 12-3p\n\n\n\nAug 13th | 2-5p\n\n\n\nAug 15th | 6-8p\, Celebratory Reception \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro 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. \n\n\n\nDesigned 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.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust Cohort \n\n\n\nMcKenna Jones (BFA Art History\, minor Art Administration) plans to investigate the relationship between gender\, body image issues\, and chronic illness. Drawing from personal\, first-hand experience\, they want to illustrate these frustrations associated with these issues and analyze the reasons why these issues are connected to each other through their artwork. \n\n\n\nMelanie St Clair (BFA Printmaking and Drawing) is heavily inspired by paintings of Kusozu\, the nine stages of death\, created in the Edo period of Japan by Buddhist artists. She wants to create imagery reminding us of decay through the use of bones\, old photos\, graves\, rot\, flowers and love. This will include incorporating photography and digital collage to depict the cycle of decay. These images will be created via cyanotypes and photosensitive emulsions in order to utilize sunlight to shed warmth on such a complicated topic. They will be printed onto recycled paper that will be made in the studio. \n\n\n\nRemus Steward (BFA Sculpture and Ceramics) intends to develop an installation with optional participation based on sense and memory. They plan to experiment with soft sculpture\, sound and video\, tactile and wearable elements. During the Open Artist Studio Hours and Informal Closing Celebration\, they plan to give the audience the choice of participating in open and short performance-led engagements with the physical and auditory materials they produce. A main objective is to craft and engage with physical objects that will aid in the explorative process\, also acting as manifestations of memory in the real world. Memories can be triggered in a variety of ways\, and frequently have ties to specific scents\, places\, or media. By using physical sensory objects\, audio\, and projected video they will be creating an environment in which to explore these associations. \n\n\n\nKnia Williamson (BFA Sculpture and Ceramics) intends on creating flower vessels inspired by her previous work\, Entomophily\, a simple form accentuated with floral designs. She specifically wants insight into how material impacts the aesthetic and perception of her work. This will be done with the objective of investigating how the form evolves in size\, shape\, and style. She proposes using a variety of materials that extend beyond her current use of earthenware clay\, experimenting with plaster\, fabric\, and air-dry clay to allow for discovery of how the materials impact the perception of the vessels. This exploration will allow her to assess if the new materials elevate or challenge the success of her original design.

SUMMARY:This black feeling Art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This Black Feeling\n\n\n\nSolo Exhibition by Zaire Miles-MoultriE \n\n\n\n August 19 – August 23\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, August 22nd | 6-8P\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About This Black Feeling \n\n\n\nThis Black Feeling is a culmination of my artistic evolution thus far\, bringing together works from ongoing and completed projects\, individual pieces\, and exploratory sketches. Serving as a window into my visual world\, it reveals the techniques\, narratives\, and emotions that define my practice. \n\n\n\nMoving between the surreal and the real\, my work is imbued with a recurring sensation of black\, but not bleak. A duality of darkness that is rich\, not empty\, a space of possibility rather than absence. For me black and Blackness (both as a color and a social construct) carries a profound complexity: it is a lived reality\, rich with depth\, emotion\, beauty\, a timeless resonance\, and so much more. Through this collection of works\, I invite viewers to engage with their layered meaning and the enduring power of black both as an aesthetic and a conceptual force. \n\n\n\nMore About Zaire  \n\n\n\nRooted in my Southern upbringing\, my work explores Blackness—both a social construct and a lived reality—alongside spirituality and otherness\, transforming the familiar into the mystical. Using biblical iconography\, antique Black figures\, and flora and fauna\, I depict the surreal duality of Southern Black existence. My practice lives at the intersection of heritage and imagination\, where history meets possibility. \n\n\n\nMy collages become portals to examine identity and collective memory. Each piece begins with meticulous research into historical figures\, objects\, and events. I then employ various printmaking techniques to create imagery that I cut\, stitch\, and layer in a deliberate act of storytelling. Using both analog and digital collage methods\, I construct intricate compositions guided by a simple philosophy: If I can’t find it\, I’ll make it; if I can’t make it\, I’ll find it. The work comes to life through traditional printmaking processes like screen-printing and lithography. \n\n\n\nUltimately\, my practice celebrates resilience and the enduring power of printmaking and collage to provoke thought\, stir emotion\, and ignite change. By embracing their transformative potential\, I affirm that every piece carries the power to rewrite history\, reclaim agency\, and reimagine the world anew—for my nieces and nephews\, and for all of us. \n\n\n\nTo learn more follow Zaire on instagram @that_zaire \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Hours \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

SUMMARY:Fantastic creatures\, Beautiful beasts art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Fantastic Creatures\, Beautiful Beasts \n\n\n\nExhibition by Paige Cox & Natalie Schorr\n\n\n\n August 26 – 30\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, August 29th | 6-8P\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Fantastic Creatures\, Beautiful Beasts  \n\n\n\nWhat if you gave your imagination total freedom? \n\n\n\nStrange creatures\, imagined worlds\, curious hybrids—do they only exist in our minds\, or can we bring them to life? \n\n\n\nThis work lives in that in-between space\,where fantasy becomes form and play becomes purpose. \n\n\n\nColors misbehave. Materials mix in unexpected ways.There are no rules about size\, shape\, or seriousness. \n\n\n\nIt’s about creating for the sheer joy of it.About letting imagination lead\, wherever it wants to go. \n\n\n\nSometimes it’s funny. Sometimes it’s unsettling.Often\, it’s both. \n\n\n\nNow feels like a good time to escape a little—to let our minds bend toward something beautifully strange. \n\n\n\nEnjoy some happiness! \n\n\n\nNatalie and Paige \n\n\n\nMore About Paige Cox  \n\n\n\nPaige Cox\, a fiber artist based in North Carolina\, is celebrated for her distinctive textile creations and inventive sculptures using paper mache’ and  found objects. Known for her experimentation with various materials and techniques like felting\, weaving\, tufting\, and up-cycled art assembly\, Paige currently focuses on creating art to help us escape. \n\n\n\nInfusing her work with lively colors and textures\, she brings a playful touch and a sense of humor to her pieces. Paige strives to make her art approachable\, inviting people to engage with art and enjoy experiencing works made to provoke a smile.  \n\n\n\nPaige Cox uses fiber like some people use fireworks: loud\, unpredictable\, and guaranteed to leave an impression. This North Carolina-based artist spins vibrant sculptures from tufted yarn\, scrap fabric\, and bits of upcycled  treasures she finds irresistible. Her art is rooted in whimsy\, but her vision is clear: fiber is a tool for connection\, not just decoration. \n\n\n\nTufting anchors her process—quick\, immersive\, and joyfully chaotic. Her pieces vibrate with energy\, overflowing with color and touchable texture. There’s a sense of invitation in her work\, a wink of mischief that says: come closer\, it’s okay to laugh. \n\n\n\nCox doesn’t stay still. She leaps between mediums—felting\, weaving\, found-object collage—guided by a love of the unexpected. Materials are sourced from anywhere and everywhere\, reimagined into forms that feel both familiar and fantastical. \n\n\n\nHer goal? To make art that resonates on a gut level—fun to look at\, fun to think about\, and maybe even fun to hold. She’s not afraid of color\, not afraid of play\, and definitely not afraid to remind us that art can be strange and sincere at the same time. \n\n\n\nTo learn more follow Paige on instagram @paigecox_art \n\n\n\nMore About Natalie Schorr  \n\n\n\nBorn into the waning days of the Eisenhower administration\, Natalie’s work is influenced by her memories of the 1960s and 70s\, and is usually based on people and emotions rather than places or things. \n\n\n\nNatalie Schorr spent 12 years working as an art director and set designer in motion pictures and television before leaving to raise her children. Her early work focused on realistic drawing and watercolor. In 1999\, she added printmaking to her skills\, experimenting extensively with early photopolymers and other nontoxic methods.  \n\n\n\nOver time\, Natalie’s work has become more focused on analog collage mixed media\, frequently employing printmaking as a starting point. Her current work includes old and recycled items\, with works primarily relating to memory and social comment arising from past trauma. Natalie believes that in a perfect moment\, mixed media brings together all her skills to create something no one skill or medium could possibly express.  \n\n\n\nAfter living in several cities over 4 states\, Natalie recently returned to Greensboro\, NC. She holds a BFA in Costume Design from the University of North Carolina Greensboro\, and an MFA in Scene Design from Carnegie Mellon University. Her studio includes a large printing press and an embarrassingly comprehensive supply of old magazines\, wallpapers and ephemera. \n\n\n\nMy work comes from my personal experiences and memories\, and it expresses feelings I cannot adequately explain with words. As with most pop surrealism there is usually an element of humor that’s obscure\, which helps me cope with life. \n\n\n\nTo learn more visit her website here and follow her on Instagram @natalieschorrart  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Hours \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p
