Project Description

Throughout Tallahassee art in public places, murals, and community based art projects are prevalent and provide a rich cultural experience for members of the community. For Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, undergraduate students will assist with art in public spaces projects as well as murals and installations that can be enjoyed by the community. Through this process they will learn how to create art for community spaces and learn how to write grants and project proposals.

Research Tasks: Research Assistants will help: plan and create community based art, assist me in my studio practice, work collaboratively with me to write grants and project proposals, and work hands on with community organizations such as the Tallahassee Cultural Council, 621 Gallery, Thomasville Center for the Arts, and the Fab Gallery

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Recommended Skills: ability to write professionally

Mentoring Philosophy

As a teacher and mentor, my mentoring philosophy is about working with students and their skillsets to develop projects that are beneficial to their professional goals. Through our research projects we will create an interactive learning environment that allows them to develop their skillset through hands on experiences in a safe space. While our projects are challenging at times, failing or making mistakes is part of developing as a professional and we will work through things together and learn from any missteps. Behind everything in my professional studio practice and my teaching practice, I seek to build a community of care that encourages individuals to learn and grow.
