During collaborative visioning sessions with the artist Adam Carlin\, graphic designer Irvin Maldonado\, and students in Derek Toomes’ Interior Architecture Department at UNC Greensboro\, each community will design a pseudo institution that could or should exist in Downtown Greensboro.Coming soon signs for these fictionalized spaces will then be installed on vacant properties as temporary public art pieces\, publicly projecting a potential future that is inclusive and accessible for those who are often under-represented. These ambiguous yet thought-provoking installations will allow the public to pause and contemplate who our current city is truly for\, and will empower the constituents of a city to own a future that is often prescribed rather than collectively created. \nAdam CarlinAdam Carlin is a curator\, educator\, administrator and social practice artist. He is currently the Director of Learning & Engagement at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse\, NY. He is also co-Director of the artist project\, the Greensboro Contemporary Jewish Museum\, a decentralized museum that explores the intersections between contemporary art practices and southern Jewish life. Carlin was previously the Director of Community Engagement for UNC Greensboro’s College of Visual and Performing Arts and Director of UNCG’s off-campus contemporary art center Greensboro Project Space. Other notable projects Carlin co-Founded and co-Directed include Creek Colleges\, an organization that created schools on the banks of rivers\, lakes\, and creeks that are going through active restoration and Some Thing Spacious\, an experimental project space in Oakland\, CA that focused on participatory art practices. He received a BFA from California College of the Arts and an MFA in Art and Social Practice from Portland State University.Carlin’s practice draws from a variety of histories and lineages. From community organizing principles defined in the civil rights era; to the expanded field of sculpture; to the contemporary canon of socially engaged arts. But first and foremost his practice draws from that which is right in front of him. He makes both permanent and ephemeral projects that are created in context to the external environment\, be that a community\, a history\, a situation\, a place\, or a person. The projects act as platforms for these constituents to tell their stories\, to express their own creativity\, and to contribute to a collective idea or action. Some of his personal works often take the form of institutes as artworks which grants artists the power to not only create institutions of their own but to radically reimagine institutional practices in order to counter systemic inequalities that are embedded into the tradition of the arts. Working simultaneously as a curator\, educator\, administrator\, and socially engaged artist\, Carlin’s artistic projects have taken the forms of schools\, colleges\, museums\, departments\, and various other institutions whose qualities he has co-opted as a container for participatory projects for the public. \nDerek ToomesDerek Toomes is an artist based in Greensboro and Raleigh\, NC. Derek is drawn to the iconic imagery of popular culture\, as he is equally interested in societal location as a culture inundated by imagery. His sourcing as well as appropriation of images allows Derek to create work that is aesthetically and anthropologically situated within culture\, while also commenting on that culture.He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Interior Architecture at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. \nIrvin MaldonadoIrvin Maldonado is a Latine artist currently based in Greensboro\, North Carolina\, passionate about the creative process and visualizing communication. With an educational background specializing in fine arts\, he employs photography\, graphic design\, and video to produce work that inspires viewers.https://www.greensboroprojectspace.com/blog-post/coming-soon URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/coming-soon-exhibition-greensboro-project-space/ LOCATION:Greensboro Project Space\, 111 E February 1 Pl\, Greensboro\, NC 27406\, USA CATEGORIES:School of Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220920 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221002 DTSTAMP:20260517T051919 CREATED:20240130T163217Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163217Z UID:10000421-1663632000-1664668799@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:“EYE SITE” Exhibition @ Greensboro Project Space DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View\nWhen: September 20th – October 1st\, 2022 \nClosing Reception: September 30th 6-8pm\nWhere: Greensboro Project Space (111 E February One Place) \nGallery Hours: Tuesdays-Fridays\, 12-5pm; Saturdays\, 2-5pm\nMore About EYE SITE \nEYE SITE is a selection of recent works by Greensboro native James Clemmons. The works elected here are exemplary moments of an ongoing investigation of symbol and form derived from the language of everyday life\, developed from a vested interest in the visually syntactic language of the varied printmaking processes. The work is the direct result of not only the deconstruction of language but also an inquiry of symbols. \nThese works exist between domains: not quite drawing\, printed matter\, or painting in the traditional sense. There is an aesthetic thread present linking the work\, but the inherent textual information displayed within the works is so deeply embedded and\, in some cases\, altogether hidden from view. \nThe intense obfuscation of language and image present in these works can create unique moments where one may be forced into suspending that inescapable desire to make sense of words and phrases\, and instead take notice of the formal elements of the pictorial imagery.  \nMore About James  \nJames Clemmons is a multidisciplinary artist and North Carolina native\, based in Greensboro\, NC. Formally equipped with an educational background situated within traditional printmaking and drawing\, his approach to the two-dimensional discipline of painting exhibits less classical language and representation. Instead\, the formal aspect of the work has more to do with the endless prose of daily life. \nJames’ work is a fighting combination of poetic references and interwoven fields of form and color. The effort of his work magnifies the unlimited idiosyncrasies of text and symbols that\, often overlooked\, await activation. His impulse is an attempt to reveal the beautiful\, chaotic\, and puzzling qualities somewhat hidden within the otherwise arbitrary forms of the spoken and visual language systems that we all take part in. \n \nhttps://www.greensboroprojectspace.com/blog-post/eye-site URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/eye-site-exhibition-greensboro-project-space/ LOCATION:Greensboro Project Space\, 111 E February 1 Pl\, Greensboro\, NC 27406\, USA CATEGORIES:School of Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220920T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220920T160000 DTSTAMP:20260517T051919 CREATED:20240130T163218Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163218Z UID:10000422-1663664400-1663689600@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Persistence of Vision DESCRIPTION:Persistence of Vision – Gatewood Studio Art Center \nAugust 10 – September 27\, 2022 \nMonday – Friday 9:00 – 4:00pmSaturday 1:00 – 4:00pm URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/persistence-of-vision-29/ LOCATION:Gatewood Studio Arts Center\, 527 Highland Ave\, Greensboro\, NC 27412\, USA\, 527 Highland Ave\, Greensboro\, 27412\, United States CATEGORIES:School of Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220920T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220920T173000 DTSTAMP:20260517T051919 CREATED:20240130T163218Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163218Z UID:10000423-1663695000-1663695000@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Stephen Osio\, violin • Undergraduate Recital DESCRIPTION:RESERVE TICKETSDOWNLOAD PROGRAM\n\n   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAudience Note\nTickets are required to attend any concert or recital in person.

She is committed to listening\, learning\, and becoming a better member of society with the hopes of paving roads for justice\, collaboration\, and kindness in communities. She has performed widely in such settings as the Brancaleoni International Music Festival in Italy\, the Gijón International Piano Festival in Spain\, the Kennedy Center\, Interlochen Arts Academy\, and China. (However\, she sometimes prefers to perform in intimate spaces such as living rooms\, personal Zoom calls\, and breweries.) Recent performances have included Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy with UNCG’s University Symphony Orchestra\, Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra\, Messiaen’s La ville d’en haut with the University of Michigan Symphony Band\, and Messiaen’s Oiseaux exotiques with the University of Michigan Contemporary Directions Ensemble. A Presser scholar\, Annie has presented at Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) conferences at collegiate\, state\, and national levels and College Music Society (CMA) regional conferences. \nAnnie’s essential goal as an artist is to make communities richer and more meaningful through the arts. To this end\, Annie strives to make music accessible to audiences of all backgrounds by expanding and rethinking the traditional recital format to include interdisciplinary and interactive elements\, all with the aim of encouraging audiences to engage with the artistic experience. Recent projects include\, “Music by the Barrel\,” which was a concert series at the Ann Arbor Distilling Company in Ann Arbor\, “Beyond the Keys: Unlocking Piano Works” which was an interactive concert on the roof of a parking deck performed by her piano pedagogy students\, and “Brews-keys” which featured UNCG piano faculty and students at Oden Brewing Company in Greensboro\, North Carolina.

As a strong believer of creating a better and more equitable “normal\,” she also founded A Seat at the Piano (ASAP) in the summer of 2020 (aseatatthepiano.com). ASAP is a resource that is dedicated to the promotion of inclusion in the performance and study of solo piano repertoire. \nMuch of Annie’s research is devoted to contemporary music and studying the pedagogical capabilities of contemporary piano techniques. In 2018\, Annie received the Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship from the University of Michigan to create a pedagogical resource called Circles and Lines that will feature newly commissioned works by female composers that introduce unconventional piano techniques to intermediate pianists. She is also the pianist of Khemia Ensemble (khemiaensemble.com)\, a contemporary chamber ensemble that is dedicated to promoting contemporary classical music by cultivating inclusive place-making\, collaborative mentorships\, and authentic storytelling through immersive\, multimedia performances. She released the album\, “World Map” with Parma Recordings as the former pianist of Four Corner’s Ensemble. Committed to supporting musicians in finding their unique career path\, she also worked as a Programming Assistant at University of Michigan’s Excellence in Entrepreneurship\, Career Empowerment & Leadership (EXCEL) Lab. She also serves as a member of the National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy (NCKP) Career Development and Innovation Committee. \nAnnie received her MM in Piano Performance from the University of Michigan and her BM in Piano Performance with a minor in Public Health from New York University. She received her DMA in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from the University of Michigan in 2019. Her teachers include Logan Skelton\, José Ramón Mendez\, Miyoko Lotto\, Anne-Marie McDermott\, and Faye Bonner.

The works elected here are exemplary moments of an ongoing investigation of symbol and form derived from the language of everyday life\, developed from a vested interest in the visually syntactic language of the varied printmaking processes. The work is the direct result of not only the deconstruction of language but also an inquiry of symbols. \nThese works exist between domains: not quite drawing\, printed matter\, or painting in the traditional sense. There is an aesthetic thread present linking the work\, but the inherent textual information displayed within the works is so deeply embedded and\, in some cases\, altogether hidden from view. \nThe intense obfuscation of language and image present in these works can create unique moments where one may be forced into suspending that inescapable desire to make sense of words and phrases\, and instead take notice of the formal elements of the pictorial imagery.  \nMore About James  \nJames Clemmons is a multidisciplinary artist and North Carolina native\, based in Greensboro\, NC. Formally equipped with an educational background situated within traditional printmaking and drawing\, his approach to the two-dimensional discipline of painting exhibits less classical language and representation. Instead\, the formal aspect of the work has more to do with the endless prose of daily life. \nJames’ work is a fighting combination of poetic references and interwoven fields of form and color. The effort of his work magnifies the unlimited idiosyncrasies of text and symbols that\, often overlooked\, await activation. His impulse is an attempt to reveal the beautiful\, chaotic\, and puzzling qualities somewhat hidden within the otherwise arbitrary forms of the spoken and visual language systems that we all take part in. \n \nhttps://www.greensboroprojectspace.com/blog-post/eye-site URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/closing-reception-for-eye-site/ LOCATION:Greensboro Project Space\, 111 E February 1 Pl\, Greensboro\, NC 27406\, USA CATEGORIES:School of Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220930T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220930T220000 DTSTAMP:20260517T051919 CREATED:20240130T163228Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163228Z UID:10000439-1664566200-1664575200@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:A Midsummer Night’s Dream DESCRIPTION:By William Shakespeare\nDirected by Mya Brown \nDates: \nSeptember 30 – October 1 at 7:30 p.m.\nOctober 2 at 2:00 p.m.\nOctober 12 – 15 at 7:30 p.m.\n \nTickets: Call the UNCG Theatre Box Office at 336-334-4392 or click on the Etix “website” link below to purchase tickets online. \nAge Rating: PG\nRun Time: Approx. 2 hr. and 30 min.\nFrame/Works discussion on Monday\, Sept. 26 at 7:00 p.m.\nLocation: Taylor Theatre\, 406 Tate St.\, Greensboro\, NC 27412 \nSummary: \nOn a Midsummer’s night\, four young lovers find themselves wrapped in the dream-like arms of an enchanted forest where sprites lurk and fairies rule.

Mr. Dugan performs regularly in partnership with friends and artists who share a passion for expanding the world of classical music.

Mr. Dugan appeared as the piano soloist in Charles Ives’ 4th Symphony with the Houston Symphony\, the San Francisco Symphony\, and on an album with Michael Tilson Thomas and the SFS. \nMr. Dugan advocates for a classical music culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all\, from a community’s concert halls and theaters\, to its schools and hospitals. As a founding creator of Operation Superpower\, a superhero opera for children\, he has travelled to dozens of schools in the greater New York area\, performing for students and encouraging them to use their talents – their superpowers – for good. He is head of the Artist in Residence program at pianoSonoma and a founding faculty member of the Resonance and Soundboard Institutes at Honeywell Arts Academy. \nMr. Dugan holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from The Juilliard School\, where he studied under Matti Raekallio.
