Collage Workshop - Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 5:00pm
Featured artists Stanwyck Cromwell and Moussa Gueye will lead participants through a collage workshop. Gueye, a former IRIS client from Mauritania, and Cromwell, who immigrated from Guyana to Bloomfield, CT 40 years ago and has explored immigrant experience in his artistry through that time, will guide participants in translating identity into expression through the special art of collecting, juxtaposing, and collaging, which is integral to both artists’ own work. While collage materials are provided, attendees are invited to bring images, objects, or clippings that are significant or interesting to them.

Hunting in Wartime profiles Tlingit veterans from Hoonah, Alaska who saw combat during the Vietnam War.

Their stories give an important human face to the combat soldier and show the lasting effects of war on individuals, families and communities.

Jennifer Day
"Small Business"
Through July 30
Mixing medieval technology with contemporary concepts of sustainable
energy, Jennifer Day crafts miniature worlds scaled at 1/8 inch to a
foot. Taking cues from today's exigencies to restore, recycle and
repurpose, the artist builds all manner of gears, vehicles and machinery
from backyard sticks, toothpicks and scraps from her own frame-making.
These worlds encapsulate the work of the inventor , turning it into an
impossible possibility.

Entry Deadline: August 4
Exhibition: September 8 - November 26, 2017
The VETs Gallery, One Avenue of the Arts, Providence, RI
In Transit seeks
art that is connected to travelers and their transit experience in both
the literal and metaphoric sense. Think: multifaceted transitory
moments, whether across, around, over, under or through bridges, roads,
deserts, forests, time, and mind. This exhibition highlights the
tangible and intangible elements of transportation, being in transition,
in motion, in-between and neither here nor there - on a journey, in all
its permutations.
