With <br /> a focus on web design and multimedia, Art Institute of Charlotte <br /> graduate Woodberry's work has been featured in the blacksheep x <br /> nike exhibit celebrating the collaboration between Charlotte, NC's <br /> Black Sheep Skate Shop and Nike, in the 2014 Miami Art Basel <br /> Cosmic Connections exhibit, and in hotelier La Maison Champs <br /> Elysees' Parisian ad campaign. He has been included in the 2014/15 <br /> Arts & Science Council and Adams Outdoor Advertising ArtPop <br /> initiative. In addition to Woodberry's fine art pursuits, his design and <br /> technical expertise is applied to his work as a developer and <br /> specialist in IT project management. <br /> Quentin Talley is an accomplished poet, actor, director, and <br /> producer. He is the inaugural recipient of the 2012 LeadershipU <br /> Fellowship for emerging theater professionals, administered by <br /> Theater Communications Group and funded by The Andrew W. <br /> Mellon Foundation. Quentin is also the Founder and Artistic Director <br /> of OnQ Performing Arts in Charlotte. OnQ is a non-profit professional <br /> theater dedicated to producing classic, contemporary, and original <br /> performance work that reflect the black experience. As a solo artist, <br /> Quentin recently released a new album entitled, #FreedomDay: A <br /> Musical Reparations Mixtape by The Talented Tenth of Mr. Talley. <br /> For the Ackland's ART& 2019-2020 programing, Assistant Curator for <br /> the Collection Lauren Turner sought artists with North Carolina <br /> perspectives who are further afield than the Triangle communities of <br /> Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. After focused studio visits in <br /> Charlotte, Turner recommended that Kiser, Woodberry, and Talley be <br /> approved by the Ackland's internal Exhibition Consideration <br /> Committee to create the ART& commission scheduled for installation <br /> in August 2019. She recommended the three artists on the strength <br /> of their professional accomplishments, their lack of exhibition <br /> exposure within the Triangle, and their proven ability (through earlier <br /> murals and projects) to work on a large-scale under the installation <br /> limitations of Ackland's ART& space. Because their body of work <br /> crosses artistic disciplines and media, and would offer the potential <br /> for community-based programing endeavors beyond the physical art <br /> commission (like additional artist workshops and musical <br /> performances), the committee of nine Museum professionals <br /> enthusiastically endorsed the recommendation. <br /> Are you hiring Yes <br /> multicultural artists <br /> with the requested <br /> funds from this <br /> grant? <br /> What is the total 3240 <br /> amount you will pay <br /> the multicultural <br /> artists with the funds <br /> you receive from this <br />
