Exhibit: Wishes and Witches
Artist Alum Emma Mc Cagg is showing
Anna's Electric Trees as part of a group holiday exhibit at Salomon Arts Gallery in New York. If you're in the city, catch the opening!
The piece was conceived while she was
in residence this summer with her
partner: Author, lecturer, art historian,
and international curator, Raul Zamudio
and we're excited to see a piece
of the Indiana Woodlands
make it's way across the country
in such a vibrant burst of color
and exuberance!
Update
March 2027: Nasim Ahmadpour
Persian playwright and filmmaker, Nasim Ahmadpour, was scheduled to be playwright-in-residence and to debut the 3rd installation in her series of works 'Tables Project,' at Constellation Playhouse in March of this year, as well as participate in our debut salon, 'Wise Panic.' Her flight to Bloomington was dated 3 days after the war started, however. She's been unable to travel to the U.S. until now.
This visionary has been awarded a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris in Autumn 2027, and is scheduled (hopefully) to arrive here on March 1st for a 2-month residency and staging of her profoundly important and internationally acclaimed work in Spring of 2027!
