Recently, some of our Fellows have been in the news doing great things: Maria Magdalena Campos Pons's Rios Intermitentes at the Havana Biennial was named one of the "Top 15 Exhibitions Around the World" by Hyperallergic. Amitis Motevalli's multimedia work Golestan Revisited received a coveted Creative Capital Award. Daniel Canogar's solo exhibition Surge opened this month at the Minnesota Street Project's Bitforms Gallery in San Francisco. Each of these artists spent time in the creatively inspiring environment of our residency.

And if you'd like to hear about what's coming up from Montalvo as we investigate isolation and community in our thematic program SOCIAL: Rethinking Loneliness Together, you can listen to Kelly Sicat, Director of the LAP, discuss the subject on a recent episode of the UNTITLED, ART podcast.
Love folk music? If so, you don't want to miss Grammy-winning musician Loudon Wainwright performing in our intimate, indoor Carriage House Theatre next Wednesday, January 29 at 7:30pm.
Known as the "Singing Surgeon" on the hit TV show M*A*S*H, Wainwright's catalogue of songs have been recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs — and by his son, Rufus Wainwright. He won the 2010 Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album for High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project and his 2012 recording, Older Than My Old Man Now, was named one of NPR’s Top 10 Albums of the Year.

Get ready for our 18th Annual Arts in Your Classroom Conference on Saturday, March 7 from 8:30am-4pm! Registration opens next Tuesday, January 28 at 12pm.
Through the lens of different creative practices and pedagogical techniques, the conference will further examine our programming thematic Social: Rethinking Loneliness Together, and how this topic pertains to the educational sphere.
Our day will begin with an opening plenary session featuring a keynote from artist and filmmaker Ivan Cash on the topic of re-learning the lost art of human connection. Next, choose from several hands-on workshops that delve into concepts of identity, relationships, community building, and the impact of social media on our collective health.
This event offers a great opportunity for both professional and personal development. Continuing education credits will be available for those who attend.
