SaveArtSpace partnered with the domestic violence advocacy group Take Heart You Are Not Alone and curator David F. Martin to assemble a billboard campaign that brings awareness to the issue of domestic violence in Seattle, WA. Featuring the work of seven artists, this visual framework provides a means to explore community responses to gender-based violence and to showcase ways to address this violence. On Wednesday, December 1, 2021, the Frye Art Museum and Path with Art invited four speakers for a panel discussion on this topic. Moderated by Holly Jacobson, CEO of Path with Art, this panel centered the voices of people with lived experiences with domestic violence and discussed how art can be an integral piece for people navigating their healing journeys. This panel also relates to MFA '21 Tanya Sharp's research and practicum work, as she worked with Take Heart You Are Not Alone during her time in the MFA program. You can watch the recording of the panel online here. Join AAAE as a Student Member Did you know that the Association of Arts Administration Educators (AAAE) has a student membership?

Momentous Gesture by Rafael Soldi / Strange Fire Collective Momentous Gesture—curated by the Strange Fire Collective—is an exhibition of work by women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ artists whose work embraces gesture while attempting to move the needle on intersectional socio-political issues, reminding us that beauty can be found in a rigorous social conceptual framework. Whether it is through corporeal gesture—dance, ritual, durational performance—or through formal gesture in paint, collage, and collaborative human-nature printmaking, these artists weaponize beauty to bring focus to important questions about the world around us. Shakespeare: Drum & Colours by Seattle Shakespeare Two plays. Two directors. Nine Actors. It’s theatrical lightning in a bottle! Juxtaposing a comedy and a tragedy in rotating repertory is a showpiece of range and talent. Hamlet and As You Like It are distilled to their essences in sizzling adaptations that focus on the actor’s art of storytelling peeled bare. For the past two years, Seattle Shakespeare has supported POC artists on a journey to explore personal connections to the classics through our Shakespeare Equity Engagement program and the Holding Space project. In meeting the community’s needs this all-POC Shakespeare repertory company sprang forth with 360-degree representation, including actors, directors, and an all-POC design team. It’ll be a theatrical highwire act to shed new light on familiar works. #DoTheWork Arts Leadership Formation Part of our commitment, as Arts Leaders, is to remain open and teachable in the formation of our leadership posture and approach.
