The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation recently awarded Yaddo a major grant to fund residencies for artists from their eight key cities, including Akron. This presentation for our local artists is part of a national effort by Yaddo to identify and recruit eight of the highest-level talented artists from those cities, with special efforts dedicated to underrepresented communities and emerging art forms.

Over the years, it has inspired creative individuals, both established and emerging, from Aaron Copland, Truman Capote, and Jacob Lawrence to Lisa Cholodenko, Walter Mosley, Susan Orlean and Martin Puryear. It was founded in 1900 to offer creative artists the rare gift of a supportive environment with uninterrupted time to think, experiment, and create.

Small work allows the experience of getting up close and personal with the artwork. The size of the artwork forces one to go in and really look. “Smaller beckons: get close, touch, relate — they inspire a reduction of the psychic distance between one thing and another; between people and things“
– from the book and philosophy: “Wabi Sabi”

The Jeffrey Leder Gallery will begin our exhibit season with a dynamic exhibit: “Small Works NYC”. The exhibit will occupy 2 floors of the gallery. We are located in LIC, New York City: 8 minutes from Manhattan, around the corner from MoMA PS1 Museum, 2 blocks from the Sculpture Center and 8 Blocks from the Noguchi Musuem.

Projects Gallery and Philadelphia’s Brandywine Wokshop are partnering to present a juried exhibition that will draw attention to the breadth and depth of printmaking utilizing innovative, new approaches. Artists are invited to submit examples of contemporary printmaking for review by an expert jury.
