VISITING ARTIST, SPACE FOR ART PROGRAM. Diana H. Jones Center, Bushwick, Brooklyn. April-October 2010.
Daryl-Ann Saunders has been selected to participate in the new Space for Art visiting artist residency program launched by the Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC) in partnership with the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York City Department for the Aging. The program provides Brooklyn artists with work space at selected senior centers in order to bring senior citizens in direct contact with artists and the artistic process. Selection was determined by detailed proposals submitted by artists throughout the five boroughs. Daryl-Ann requested and received placement at Diana H. Jones Senior Citizen Center in order to work on several projects.
One, created to foster community interaction between Bushwick artists, Center members and the general public, was "Urbanity: Interpretations of the Urban Landscape", an eight-week exhibition by emerging local artists that ran in conjunction with "Color Splash", an exhibit of artwork by Center senior members. Both exhibits participated in the annual Bushwick Open Studios (BOS) art festival and the Center's 41st anniversary on June 12th. At the end of the exhibit run, an Artist Talk was conducted in both English and Spanish in order to be inclusive of Center members and the Spanish-speaking community.
Saunders' upcoming project at the Center, "Pioneers of Bushwick", will pair photographic portraits of Bushwick seniors with their stories of the tumultuous years when Bushwick experienced an unprecedented rise in arson, riots, drugs, gangs and criminal-related activity from the 70's throughout the 90's. The residency will culminate in an exhibition of the portraits and writings to which the seniors' families, local community, general public and classes of students will be invited.
"THE PANOCTURNISTS", online group exhibit. Feb. 15 - ongoing. Curator: Tim Baskerville, Juror: Chris Faust.
You are invited to an online exhibition of panoramic night photography which includes Daryl-Ann's night subway photography. Just follow the links below.

Daryl-Ann has one artwork from a new series in this exhibit. The curator selected 5% of all works submitted for this juried show (40 photographs from 841) to be exhibited in the gallery. The exhibition will also be displayed in the online gallery and a full color exhibition catalog will be available for purchase.
