Inaugural 2020/2021 Curatorial Fellowship: Either Wrong or Right, Just Examine

"Art is Business"

Inspiring art education, exhibitions, and expression for all. Inaugural 2020/2021 Curatorial Fellowship: Either Wrong or Right, Just Examine Either Wrong or Right, Just Examine: Examining the State of Our Environment July 10 - September 5, 2021 Co-curated by inaugural 20/21 Curatorial Fellows: Alpha M Bruton and Adero J Knott Alpha M Bruton and Adero J Knott’s artistic vision entails an intergenerational curatorial practice that seeks to provide a model for emerging and established curators to innovate in curating inclusive experience, gain practical curating experience and critically reflect on how their curatorial style will imprint on the Evanston community and the world. Throughout the exhibition, Bruton and Adero have invited artists to participate in a series of virtual dialogues. These dialogues explore ways artists examine their environment through themes of Racism, Spirituality, Documentation, and Art as Wellness, as well as the intersection of art and social justice – how does identity and intersectionality affect our lived experiences, as seen in the practice of an artist?  "Reaching for Our Mother...
