Urban Garden: In Search of Greener Pastures
Steve Prince: Artist in Residence

This week Steve Prince will work alongside our community at Messiah to collectively create a large collaborative charcoal drawing based on the theme, ​Urban Garden​. The big question we will ponder is: ​What is planted in America’s garden that perhaps needs to be interrogated, examined, or removed and conversely, what should we plant in its place? What should, or could we be nurturing?​

As we draw students and participants will be challenged to think abstractly, symbolically, representationally, spiritually, theoretically, philosophically, and literally to create a piece that champions the individual voice affixed to the communal voice.

All are invited to participate in the drawing which will take place in the Climenhaga Lobby. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 2-5pm will be the best times to come help, however please contact Brian Menkis bmenkis@messiah.edu if you would like to see if another time would work.

We will end the week with a celebratory reception and unveiling of the drawing as well as linocut prints Steve will create while he is here on Friday November 12 at 5:30 p.m.
