Natural dye your eggs this year!
With so many lovely and vibrant colors found in nature, why dye your Easter eggs with anything but beets, onions, cabbage, and berries? When used to dye our brown-shelled eggs, natural egg dyes yield deep, earthy tones in just about every color of the rainbow.

Call For Podcast Proposals - $400 Stipend Available
In conjunction with PA SHARP, The Foster and Muriel McCarl Gallery and the Public History and Digital Humanities Programs of Saint Vincent are developing a podcast series that examines the impacts of masks and masking on people as reflected in history, culture, science, and daily life. The joint programming effort, tentatively titled “Through the Mask” aims to explore historical, cultural, and scientific uses and meanings of masks in many different contexts. The podcast series will be complemented by two exhibits, one digital and one physical, that will look at the uses of textiles and other materials in masks and mask-making and the history of their uses through multiple cultures and time periods. The digital exhibit will also house this five-part limited series of podcasts developed through input from multidisciplinary scholars, students, and groups with a focus on humanities.
We are looking for proposals for podcast development around topics related to masking. A $400 stipend is available for individuals or groups to develop and produce a podcast for the series. Individuals from all disciplines and backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Funding is provided by PA SHARP and can be used in any way to support podcast development. Proposals for podcasts will be accepted until February 25, 2022 and are open to any applicant or group. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by March 11, 2022. A release schedule will be developed once all individuals/groups have been notified and accepted. All proposals must include:
Introduction of podcast developers and the topic they wish to explore
Points they want to discuss about the topic
Main takeaways or conclusion
The names of any guest speakers
Possible topics (please note that this is not an exhaustive list and that applicants are encouraged to submit creative ideas)

All proposals and questions should be sent directly to [email protected]
Join us tonight at 7 pm for our upcoming ViVa talk! Courtney Desiree Morris employs photography, video, installation, and performance art to examine our sense of place—through migration, ancestry, and shared social memory—and how places inhabit us. Her creative practice acknowledges the way history persists in both the body and the environment, surfacing connections between ecology, memory, and a constant search for “home.” She often uses her body to remember experiences of loss, dispossession and the persistent struggle to make a place for oneself, with a particular emphasis on the African Diaspora in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, and West Africa; and the experiences of female ancestors and elders whose stories are often disappeared.
