SUMMARY:Lecture by Ben Cuevas
DESCRIPTION:December 5\, 2022 – 2 PM ETRegistration is free for members\, $5 for guests.Registration opens about a month before the lecture. Please register on the Registration Form \n\nBorn in Southern California in 1987\, Ben Cuevas is an artist whose work is rooted in concepts of otherness and intersectionality\, inspired by his queer\, non-binary\, HIV-positive\, and Latinx lived experience. As these multiple components inform his practice\, identity directly influences his artwork\, which is naturally interdisciplinary. Cuevas received his B.A. in mixed media\, installation\, and photography at Hampshire College\, in 2010. \n\n\n\nA central part of Cuevas’s artwork is based in textiles\, underscoring queer/feminist ideologies within the long and gendered history of women’s work with fiber-based materials. These artworks have been shown across the US with exhibitions held at The Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles\, Museum of the City of New York\, The Leslie-Lohman Museum in New York City\, and others. \n\n\n\nCuevas’s work also speaks to queer histories and the idea of the archive through his photo-based works centering images of sexual minorities from past into the present. This can be seen in his piece Ghosts of the Trucks of the Westside Highway\, and his ongoing photo series titled Reinserted. \n\n\n\nSeveral books and publications feature Cuevas’s work\, such as DUETS: Ben Cuevas & Annie Sprinkle in Conversation\, published by Visual AIDS; Queer Threads: Crafting\, Identity\, and Community\, edited by John Chaich and Todd Oldham. Acclaimed as a public speaker\, Cuevas has given talks at institutions including\, Brown University\, Ohio State University\, The Museum of Sex (NYC)\, and the Fire Island Artist Residency. bencuevas.com

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Behind the Mask - Membership Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A Juried Members’ Exhibition of the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh. \nWhere: Latrobe Art Center – 819 Ligonier Street\, Latrobe\, PA 15650\nWhen: October 6th – November 2nd\, 2022 – Monday-Saturday 10AM to 5PM\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, October 6\, 2022 – 6 to 8PM\nChairperson: Carolyn Carson: carolyncarson753@hotmail.com and Barb Kubala: hangarounds@verizon.net\nEntry Deadline: August 1\, 2022\nExhibition prospectus \nEssentially\, a mask conceals something from view. While we have spent the last two years literally wearing masks to protect ourselves and others\, in a metaphorical sense all people ‘wear a mask’ to hide feelings\, beliefs\, thoughts\, pains\, behaviors\, attitudes\, desires and longings\, a past\, secret sides that few may know. As we move beyond the notion of masks for protection from a virus\, let’s think about that ubiquitous mask in human nature. Let’s explore some of our hidden natures through our art work. Let’s explore desires of things we’d do if we could be masked and undetected. Would you rob a jewelry store or try out for “The Voice?” Let’s explore our secrets – the things we do that others do not know. Are you an expert sky diver\, and no one knows? What’s behind your mask? Or\, let’s explore the mask we ‘wear.’ How do we show ourselves to the world? What is it we do want people to see? \nJUROR\nJames Arendt\nAn Associate Professor of Visual Arts and Gallery Director at Coastal Carolina University\, Jim Arendt received his BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design and his MFA from the University of South Carolina.

SUMMARY:Membership Exhibition-Behind the Mask
DESCRIPTION:A Juried Members’ Exhibition of the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh. \nWhere: Latrobe Art Center – 819 Ligonier Street\, Latrobe\, PA 15650\nWhen: October 6th – November 2nd\, 2022 – Monday-Saturday 10AM to 5PM\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, October 6\, 2022 – 6 to 8PM\nChairperson: Carolyn Carson: carolyncarson753@hotmail.com and Barb Kubala: hangarounds@verizon.net\nEntry Deadline: August 1\, 2022\nExhibition prospectus \nEssentially\, a mask conceals something from view. While we have spent the last two years literally wearing masks to protect ourselves and others\, in a metaphorical sense all people ‘wear a mask’ to hide feelings\, beliefs\, thoughts\, pains\, behaviors\, attitudes\, desires and longings\, a past\, secret sides that few may know. As we move beyond the notion of masks for protection from a virus\, let’s think about that ubiquitous mask in human nature. Let’s explore some of our hidden natures through our art work. Let’s explore desires of things we’d do if we could be masked and undetected. Would you rob a jewelry store or try out for “The Voice?” Let’s explore our secrets – the things we do that others do not know. Are you an expert sky diver\, and no one knows? What’s behind your mask? Or\, let’s explore the mask we ‘wear.’ How do we show ourselves to the world? What is it we do want people to see? \nJUROR\nJames Arendt\nAn Associate Professor of Visual Arts and Gallery Director at Coastal Carolina University\, Jim Arendt received his BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design and his MFA from the University of South Carolina.

SUMMARY:Robin Bernstein Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Thursday July 30\, 10am – 5pm \nWorkshop Yarn and Wax with Robin Bernstein at Contemporary Craft\nTuition: $125+ $10 materials fee. Please pre-register.  \nhttps://contemporarycraft.org/event/yarn-and-wax-with-visiting-artist-robin-bernstein/ \nThere is a discount available for FGP members. \nFI2022 Artist Robin Bernstein\, trained as a painter\, has worked with string and wax as her primary medium for the past 15 years. Her work focuses on both historical and urgent contemporary content and is created by obsessively cutting tiny pieces of colored string and then pressing them into wax. Bernstein believes that art has the power to shift human behavior and therefore chooses subject matter\, materials\, and processes that support this idea. Bernstein’s subject matter combined with her artistic technique is her way of shouting from the rooftops that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. You can find Robin’s website here

SUMMARY:Robin Bernstein - Demonstration and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Thursday July 28\, 6:00PM\n \nRegistration for presentation recommended  HERE \n3:30 – 5pm – Meet and Greet at the Brew House Gallery\, followed by refreshments followed by\n6:00 pm Presentation by Robin Bernstein “Beauty and Terror” with Introduction by Marcel Walker of the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh \nFI2022 Artist Robin Bernstein\, trained as a painter\, has worked with string and wax as her primary medium for the past 15 years. Her work focuses on both historical and urgent contemporary content and is created by obsessively cutting tiny pieces of colored string and then pressing them into wax. Bernstein believes that art has the power to shift human behavior and therefore chooses subject matter\, materials\, and processes that support this idea. Bernstein’s subject matter combined with her artistic technique is her way of shouting from the rooftops that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. You can find Robin’s website here
