LIST OF SOCIAL JUSTICE & RACIAL EQUITY RESOURCES
As the protests rose and grew in strength and response to murders by police of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and countless others; we posted an evolving and shifting list of resources for direct action and education. We don't want this to disappear, or the work be forgotten. This list will live here and continue to evolve, as we continue doing and sharing the work, ourselves.
In early 2020, as a response to the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, arts institutions across the region converted their classes online for the remainder of the school year and canceled all events and exhibitions. We recognize the impact this has on emerging artists who have spent the last 2-4 years building up to this pivotal moment in their careers. BFA and MFA exhibitions are capstone projects in which emerging artists present their bodies of work to the art communities into which they are about to enter. It's during these exhibitions that foundational relationships are made, such as meeting other artists, writers, independent and institutional curators, gallery owners, collectors, and other leaders in the arts. These shows are often an important opportunity for these artists to make significant sales, which fund their transition into post-academic life. So we wanted to do our part and offer up our website and our instagram pages to feature work from across Seattle and thus get the word out about the incredible work these folx are making. We hope you join us as this exhibition begins without ends without beginning until it's over or never to live in this online space until the work exists in an actual place.
Bridge Productions will host Beyond Time, a community gathering of Pacific Northwest-based BFA + MFA graduating artists on our website and instagram account over the course of the spring and summer season. This exhibition has expanded to include entries from all over the Pacific Northwest from Seattle to Bellevue, Bellingham, Portland, and anywhere else in the region. This is not meant as a substitute for any plans various institutions may have towards virtual B/MFA exhibitions, but as supplementary and supportive to them. We look forward to seeing your work, and you!
How this works:
Grads please send me an email and I'll give you access to a Google folder to submit your work. Once you have access, you'll see a document with instructions and folders for images, etc. All submissions will be accepted for students whose thesis exhibitions have been canceled!
