On March 8th I'll be heading to the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans to start a two month long residency.
I'm really excited to get there and start working and to meet the other artists. I'll be posting on FB and Instagram (jy4tes) so you can follow my journey there. Artists-in-Residence: Spring 2019 John Barnes Gus Bennett Melissa Brown Michael Dixon Ana Fernandez John Yoyogi Fortes Jacqueline Gopie Shana Kaplow Jamil Khoury Michael Meads Kristin Meyers Shani Peters Christopher Saucedo Carlie Trosclair My piece, Angry Tears is in this exhibit at Sonoma State University. Nice to be associated with all these artists.   I have a piece in this exhibition titled, THE AUDACITY OF ART at Gallery Fritz in Santa Fe, NM OBSERVER By Sara Radin • 10/30/18 Artwork that comments from both sides of the aisle Art is a colorful tool that allows us to highlight social injustices, propose new solutions, and show us what our world can become. The Santa Fe-based Gallery Fritz has made it its mission to showcase a rainbow of views and artistic voices. The space’s latest exhibition, “The Audacity of Art,” brings together the work of 12 politically diverse artists including John Yoyogi Fortes, Dorielle Caimi, Victoria Carlson and Ben Steele, who each address a different issue such as race, environmental challenges and immigration. Gallery director George Brugnon told Observer, “Our hope with this exhibition is that our community will see that art can be a way to start a conversation and not to be so focused on the tribal mindset.” Beyond exhibited artwork, the gallery is also hosting political talks related to these topics, with politicians from both sides of the aisle who will speak to the relationship of politics, culture and art. “The Audacity of Art: Art for the Midterm Elections | 12 Artists Get Audacious Across the Political Spectrum” is on view at Gallery Fritz in Santa Fe, New Mexico from October 26 – November 26.
