A talk with Yaddo President Elaina Richardson.

The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation recently awarded Yaddo a major grant to fund residencies for artists from their eight key cities, including Akron. This presentation for our local artists is part of a national effort by Yaddo to identify and recruit eight of the highest-level talented artists from those cities, with special efforts dedicated to underrepresented communities and emerging art forms.

From Seneca Falls to Philadelphia: Fourth of July 1876 and the Women of the Centennial. As part of Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts 2013, the Athenaeum of Philadelphia and Philadelphia Center for the Book are seeking artists, through the medium of the book, to explore and respond to prints and books in the Athenaeum's extensive collection regarding the Centennial, Susan B. Anthony, Women's Suffrage, and the 1876 4th of July.

SMALL WORKS NYC
A Juried Exhibition   Sept 23 - Nov 3, 2012

Submission Deadline: Sept 3, 2012
Opening Reception: Sept 23, 2012...5-7pm

Small work allows the experience of getting up close and personal with the artwork. The size of the artwork forces one to go in and really look. "Smaller beckons: get close, touch, relate - they inspire a reduction of the psychic distance between one thing and another; between people and things"
- from the book and philosophy: "Wabi Sabi"
