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. She also led music workshops that focused on group singing and music as a form of expression through the Prison Creative Arts Project at University of Michigan. \nDuring the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, Annie personally picked up and delivered keyboards to UNCG piano students in order to ensure that music within student’s lives would not be stopped. 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. She is currently the Assistant Professor of Piano and Piano Pedagogy at University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

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/exhibit-reception-for-coming-soon/ 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:20220922T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220922T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163218Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163218Z UID:10000425-1663837200-1663862400@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-31/ 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:20220921T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220921T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163218Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163218Z UID:10000424-1663750800-1663776000@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-30/ 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:20260520T115513 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.

But his family is not at all ready to abandon its prized son to the waters of a mysterious and haunting past. Blending poetry\, humor\, wordplay\, and ritual\, Dontrell\, Who Kissed the Sea is a present-day hero’s quest exploring the lengths and depths we must go to redeem history’s wrongs. – Concord Theatricals \n“Nathan Alan Davis’s script is sunny and lovable\, despite its inexorable pull from present-day Baltimore toward the slave trade’s notorious Middle Passage.” – The Washington Post \n“This fable about a young Black man’s search for an ancestor who leapt off a slave ship as it crossed the Atlantic weaves storytelling\, music\, dance\, and ritual into a fantastical tapestry […] the result is thrilling.” – Los Angeles Post \n“[T]his play’s greatness doesn’t really come from the plot\, though the plot’s water-tightness and inevitability show playwright Nathan Alan Davis’ incredible skill. The characters and poetically transfixing language are the real stars.” – DC Theatre Scene \n“Dontrell\, Who Kissed the Sea” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French\, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/dontrell-who-kissed-the-sea/ LOCATION:Pam and David Sprinkle Theatre\, 402 Tate Street\, Greensboro\, NC\, 27403\, United States CATEGORIES:College of Visual and Performing Arts,School of Theatre END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220915T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220915T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163215Z UID:10000414-1663232400-1663257600@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-25/ 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:20220914T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220914T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163215Z UID:10000413-1663146000-1663171200@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-24/ 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:20220913T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220913T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163215Z UID:10000412-1663059600-1663084800@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-23/ 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;VALUE=DATE:20220913 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220918 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163214Z UID:10000411-1663027200-1663459199@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:“To Light and Then Return” Exhibition @ Greensboro Project Space DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View \nWhen: September 13th- September 17th\, 2022 \nWhere: Greensboro Project Space (111 E February One Place) \nGallery Hours: Tuesdays-Fridays\, 12-5pm; Saturdays\, 2-5pm \nSolo Show\, Featuring: Helen Jones \nMore About To light and then returnTo light and then return is an examination of the things we carry with us\, both emotionally and physically\, across lands from place to place. Taking its name from a short poem\, almost a fragment\, written on the back of an envelope by Emily Dickinson\, this work marvels at the magic and mistakes of photography\, meditates on loss\, and places value on the everyday sediments of our lives. \nSublime large-format landscapes and still lifes of teeth and ashes share space with washed-out snapshots and aged ephemera\, words of wisdom\, shopping lists\, and favorite poems copied by hand—items inherited when the artist’s parents passed. These combinations make space for new meanings; a piece of carbon paper becomes the night sky\, two awkwardly positioned rocks are bodies supporting one another\, and light flares and glares become spirits populating the images. \nAbout Helen JonesHelen Jones holds an MFA from the University of Texas\, Austin\, and a BFA in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art. She spent the intervening years in Oregon\, where she established Pine Island Press\, a small press specializing in art and photography zines\, including the publication Incandescent\, which has just released its 20th issue. Helen’s work explores interactions between people\, places\, and landscapes. Her aesthetic is one of things built up unintentionally and of imprints left behind. Her work has been featured online on sites such as Ain’t—Bad\, Nowhere Diary\, Lenscratch\, F-stop Magazine\, and Float Magazine; and in print in Subjectively\, Objective’s Monthly Monograph Magazine. She has exhibited in group shows at the Visual Art Center (Austin\, Texas)\, Vermont Center for Photography (Brattleboro\, Vermont)\, UnSmoke Systems (Braddock\, Pennsylvania)\, and was included in the Pacific Northwest Photography Viewing Drawers at Blue Sky Gallery (Portland\, Oregon). \nhttps://www.greensboroprojectspace.com/blog-post/to-light-and-then-return URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/to-light-and-then-return-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:20220912T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220912T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163214Z UID:10000410-1662973200-1662998400@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-22/ 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:20220910T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220910T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163214Z UID:10000409-1662814800-1662825600@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-21/ 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:20220909T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220909T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163214Z UID:10000408-1662714000-1662739200@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-20/ 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:20220908T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220908T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163214Z UID:10000407-1662627600-1662652800@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-19/ 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:20220907T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220907T193000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115513 CREATED:20240130T163207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163207Z UID:10000406-1662579000-1662579000@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Winston Duke DESCRIPTION:Winston Duke made his feature film debut in Black Panther\, the highest-grossing film of 2018\, as well as the third-highest-grossing film ever in the United States.
