Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
I will design and fabricate Treasure Tower, an outdoor metal sculpture, exhibit it at Hothouse at Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center, give an artist talk. By the end of the grant year, I will produce Treasure Tower for display outdoors. Creating it will resolve issues of weather, touch-ability, and interactivity, preparing me to produce more large scale outdoor works in the future. 2: My work will have a much wider audience exhibited at the Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center Hothouse event and Central Neighborhood. My artist talk will bring visitors from the metro area to see my work and CAFAC facility. Hothouse attracts 200 youth and adults, and 30 more adults come to the center for classes each session.
The work was completed and accepted into two exhibitions, so it was a success.
