UEC press release.
ROUGH DRAFT….
“FOR THE FIRST TIME” (4THE1STIME*) Miriam Shusman, Jonathan Ellis, Adria Willenson, and Beverly Richey will be showing their artworks together. This project spearheaded by Milwaukee-based mosaicist Miriam Shusman put three other artists together in a small group to explore opportunities to create a manageable-sized group exhibition.
In the beginning, all four artists visited each other’s studios to learn more about their work and held short in-person meetings after the visits. Next, they established short weekly zoom meetings to brainstorm. Each volunteered to reach out to the community for possible exhibition venues.
These efforts very quickly led to their first exhibit opportunity at Milwaukee’s Urban Ecology Center. With a loosely based “Nature” theme, the four artists trying out the name "FORSIGHTS" will be installing a range of works both past and present with connections to the Natural World.
The hope is that their shared efforts in preparing to show together will create new bonds and connections between them, so that skills and individual strengths can be shared between them and of benefit to each other.
On Wednesday Evening (time) Please Join this "First/Time/Together" Group Show to witness and celebrate its debut as they demonstrate their attempt to merge their work together into a group exhibition incorporating the NATURE theme..
Featured at the Opening Reception will be a Spoken Word Piece by Milwaukee-based guest artist-poet Suzanne Rosenblatt.
Also as part of the Opening Reception: All four participating artists will share some behind-the-scenes aspects of working together for the first time exposing the NUANCED/NATURE of doing something together “FOR THE FIRST TIME”
