“In 2014 Index Art Center opened the doors of Goodwin Hall and launched Index Art Center’s Studio Residency Program. Goodwin Hall consists of nine studio spaces. Each studio is occupied by a single artist or an artist collaboration.

IAC is committed to serving artists and the arts community in Newark, NJ. The Residency Program aims to foster relationships within the community and give additional exposure to the talented and hard-working artists accepted into the program. ”

Find out about the history of cyanotypes and create your own cyanotype prints on paper and cloth.  Learn to mix the chemicals, lay out your piece, and use the sun to expose your cyanotype.  After washing and drying, your pieces will be ready to take home to frame, give as a gift, or use in craft and sewing projects.  Materials are included in tuition.  Students should bring a smock and avoid wearing valuable clothing or having exposed skin.

The Newark Arts Photo Documentary Project is rolling into it’s second year of shooting.  I have completed roughly 45 shoots with artists, curators, program directors, and gallery owners since receiving funding from The Puffin Foundation in 2013.  Some of the images I have been working on were proudly shown in The Newark Issue of HYCIDE Magazine last month.   For more information about the documentary project or the magazine, please follow the links above.
