4. Artist Talk: Ato Ribeiro
Thursday, December 14 at 6 PM
Lyndon House Arts Center
https://www.accgov.com/10744/Works-by-Ato-Ribeiro
Ato Ribeiro works in a variety of media: sculpture, installation, drawing and printmaking. Born in Philadelphia in 1989, he spent his childhood and adolescence in Accra, Ghana. The articulation of his West African heritage and his African American identity is central to his art. This is evident in his wooden assemblages that reference both Ghanian strip-woven kente cloth and Black quilting traditions of the American South.
Ribeiro received his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2017 and his BA from Morehouse College in 2012. He has been awarded a number of prestigious residencies and awards, including the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, MASS MoCa Residency (2021), the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2018), the Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin through the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Emerging Artist Award, the Santa Fe Art Institute (2017) and the Ox-Bow LeRoy Neiman Foundation Fellowship, Saugatuck (2017).

The exhibition, organized by former of Montreal keyboardist Dottie Alexander with curatorial assistance from Beth Sale, features works by E6 artists W. Cullen Hart, Jill Carnes, Beth Sale, Lucy Calhoun, Hannah Jones, Andy Gonzales, and Jeremy Kiran Fernandes.

7. a2ru Emerging Creatives Student Summit
March 14-17, 2024
https://a2ru.org/event/2024-emerging-creatives-student-summit-play-the-impact-of-play-on-how-we-create-and-relate-to-the-world/
*As a member institution of the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru), UGA may nominate up to four student representatives, evenly distributed between students from arts-based disciplines and students from non-arts disciplines. Please contact [log in to unmask] for more information about how to participate.*
The 2024 Emerging Creatives Student Summit, "PLAY: The Impact of Play on How We Create and Relate to the World." will be hosted at Rochester Institute of Technology on March 14-17. How are we--our mindsets, our approaches, our whole selves--different when we are at play? What do the structures and assumptions of board games, or team sports, or role-playing games imply about who we are, how we think, and how we relate to others? What about the world of unstructured play--of just "messing around"?
This year's Emerging Creatives Student Summit on the theme of "Play" will bring together students from across the a2ru network to explore how these questions and more inform our interdisciplinary and collaborative work. The Rochester Institute of Technology will host Emerging Creatives at its Student Hall for Exploration and Development (SHED), a brand-new space that provides flexible spaces for technology, art, and design under one roof.
In the SHED's cutting-edge facilities, attendees will work in interdisciplinary teams with fellow students from across the a2ru network to create arts-integrative projects responding to the conference theme. Participants will receive training from a2ru staff on best practices for interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as mentorship and feedback from network faculty on their projects in progress. The four-day summit will conclude with presentations of each team's project for peers and mentors.
Students nominated for Emerging Creatives can apply for funding to defray the costs of attending the Summit through one of two programs: the a2ru Student Travel Grants (providing up to $250 in support) or the a2ru Scholar Awards (providing up to $1000 in support).

8. Ground Works Seeks Submissions to its 2024 Collection
https://groundworks.io/announcements/18
Exploring the possibilities of annual collections, Ground Works is pleased to invite submissions to a 2024 collection; Stage 1 submissions received by January 29, 2024 will be given priority consideration. All research projects that integrate the arts with other disciplines will be considered.
Ground Works is a compendium of projects, critically reviewed for their interdisciplinary research aims and impact. As part of the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru), select projects also receive further examination and analysis of the collaborative process in an effort to illuminate and understand the mechanisms and conditions that foster these innovative projects. Project contributors will work with a team from a2ru to rigorously articulate, document, and reflect on the modes of collaboration found within their work.
