in the cut
This is a bit of news that I am extremely excited to announce because of my personal history of with this amazing organization. I have been granted access to their beautiful exhibition space at Minnesota Street Projects to do what I want. So I am brining my studio into the space for what I have been referring to as a hybrid residency, where I will be making work and playing around with different installation strategies.
In addition there will be two chances for community members to engage in social art making “workshops” related to the work I am currently making and there will be plenty of opportunities to see my process and to socialize. A full schedule is listed below or click through to the SFArts Education website.
From the SFArtsEd website:
“SFArtsED is thrilled to welcome artist and arts educator Erik Parra as Artist-in-Residence in the gallery, from October 5th through November 16, 2024. For this hybrid residence, Parra will be using the gallery as a studio as well as an exhibition space, simultaneously painting and exhibiting works for the public to view.”
