Paid opportunities for up to 300 central Indiana artists to create art, music, and cultural experiences for fans and visitors when the 2021 NCAA men's basketball tournament comes to town for March Madness. Deadline: Feb. 15.

🏀 Seeking existing visual artwork and poetry to be printed on large-scale vinyl for empty storefronts all across downtown Indy. https://bit.ly/2Mudc2D

Additionally, there will be a self-guided public art tour, as well as a tour of iconic basketball history locations led by community historian Sampson Levingston, who is best known for his walk-and-talk tours of Indiana Avenue that celebrate the artistic and cultural heritage of the famed downtown neighborhood.

Note: Watch for additional calls for musicians and performing artists next week.

Welp, I guess I’m going to booked my first international trip for 2021. The last gallery exhibition I curated was with @christojeanneclaude —Featuring the Gates in Central Park and Over the River for the Colorado River. I loved them and their work. #christo #christoandjeanneclaude #wrappedlarcdetriomphe #paris #art #wrapped #publicart

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of journalist, @jaditmire . The sudden news of her passing today is shocking. I appreciated her coverage and advocacy for the arts as well as her wine shop. Take care everyone.

'Not Broken But Simply Unfinished': Poet Amanda Gorman Calls For A Better America

'Not Broken But Simply Unfinished': Poet Amanda Gorman Calls For A Better America

The 22-year-old composed a poem, "The Hill We Climb," that acknowledges the recent insurrection attempt, but turns resolutely toward hope. "The new dawn blooms," she writes.

01/20/2021

Building on my Amanda Gorman post, Lady Gaga and J Lo had incredible, moving performances and again I write that it is the arts and the humanities that humanize and document this time. Support artists and the arts. Otherwise you may not like how they remember you ;-) #art #inauguration2021 #contemporaryart #artofourtime

Contemporary artists offer a mirror to society. Gorman’s creation and her presence further evidence the importance of artists and art in a humanistic society. #amandagorman #poetry #art #artists #theartsmatter

Hanging out in the catacombs under the @indycm with author @mauricebroaddus of “Pimp My Airship” fame. He was reading a passage from the book. An Afrofuturist writer, Broaddus was inspired by growing up in the @cityofindianapolis The catacombs became the scene of the underworld where the poor, disenfranchised “un-persons” live in his “Pimp” world. Read the book! What are the places that inspire you?

“You can make the argument, as Nares has, that the defining characteristic of the city is its streets. Much of the artist’s work has located itself there, specifically the street surface, the textural layer of the concrete and asphalt and all the visual information caked into it. Since his arrival to New York in 1974, the street has been Nares’s great protagonist and, in the intervening years, he has spent a lot of time looking down.” —Max Lakin for Artnet

An Abstract Painter Defines a Space of His Own

It was such a privilege to work with Odili Donald Odita a few years ago on the realization of what was then his biggest site specific wall painting to date--seven stories at the Cummins Global Distribution Headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. Read this thoughtful review of his exhibition at Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City. Jack Shainman Gallery
https://hyperallergic.com/591447/odili-donald-odita-mirror-at-jack-shainman-gallery/?utm_campaign=Weekend&utm_content=20201003&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Hyperallergic%20Newsletter

In his clashing compositions and use of artificial colors and materials Odita generates something very different from artists associated with geometric abstraction and Minimalism.

On this cold fall morning, warm up in this mod interior. Mickalene Thomas is famous for her mixed media and sometimes bejeweled paintings that examine beauty, femininity, race, sexuality, and gender. This limited edition published by @durhampress has a screen print base but also has collaged areas of wood veneer, digital prints, golf leaf, etc. It has a presence at 42 inches tall and 34 1/4 inches wide. Feels like an original but the price is much more approachable. Thomas’ work can be found in museums and private collections around the world.

PM with your interest. This is an opportunity. LINK to full exhibition and sale: https://www.art-strategies.com/space-shopoff-williams-durhampress.

I enjoy this work on paper by @marnashopoff for its energy and promise. Entitled “Fallen,” while see the dense layers of line and pops of red at bottom right, my eye floats up to the larger diagonals pointing to the openness and possibility in the upper right quadrant of the painting. When we fall, we need to acknowledge the knock but get up, dust off, and acknowledge the new possibilities generated through lessons learned.
