Just to note ... I have so many great colleagues who really push my own level of professionalism. I have to give shout outs to everyone and am looking to (if i find the time lol) writing something here on all there great accomplishments. In the meantime here are some things happening at the Cleveland Institute of Art that you really should know about....
Sam Bower is an artist, Executive Director of the Green Museum as well as a founding member of the organization. Through his work he advocates for positive change for humans and their environment. He is pro-nature and pro-people.
Bower will speak in The Cleveland Institute of Art’s Aitken Auditorium to introduce the SEEDs project.
The SEEDS project will offer a collaborative base for artists, curators,
producers (of all ages,) and presenters for the production and distribution
of - artistic, cultural, social, political projects that will serve the
environment and the community, as well as sparking the imagination and
challenging existent practices in the cultural field.
Consequently, we are asking artists, designers, and activists to submit
plans and instructions for works focusing on the public sphere and in
particular on issues of sustainability. These projects should be do-able
anywhere and by anyone for a budget of 300 dollars or less. The first
compilation will be published as a PDF publication, which will be available
for free from greenmuseum.org's website. There will also be an archive
documenting executed projects, a social network, and real world exhibitions
and publications, which should serve as a resource to participants, curators
and presenters interested in organizing projects based on the SEEDS project.
