WPA’s No Artist Left Behind Series Presents: Valuation: Setting and Protecting the Value of Your Work
Setting the Price, April 24, 2012 7-8:30pm This session is full Protecting the Value, April 25, 2012, 7-8:30pm
RSVP to Liz Georges at lgeorges@wpadc.org to attend
Location: Gateway Arts Center, 3901 Rhode Island Ave., Brentwood, MD 20722
WPA presents two days of workshops on one of the thorniest issues facing artists – valuation. On April 24, Contemporary Wing’s Lauren Gentile will be our guest for Setting the Price, a participatory workshop in which Lauren will discuss her assessment of the proper pricing of artworks presented to her,* allowing attendees to get a glimpse into the factors that affect pricing from the perspective of a gallerist and appraiser who works regularly with collctors and artists.
On April 25, WPA will present Protecting the Value, a discussion moderated by Lisa Gold featuring Helena Lai of Huntington Block Insurance Agency, and Dawn Rogala, a conservator specializing in 19th and 20th century paintings currently serving as a research fellow at the Smithsonian. Discover how the choices you make as an artist about your materials and your business practices can affect how your work retains its value over time.
A limited number of works will be selected to be part of the program from the submissions. Those selected will be expected to bring the work with them to the program on April 24, and should be prepared to have Ms. Gentile discuss the work’s potential pricing in front of the audience. Two-dimensional work should be no larger than 48” x 48”. Three-dimensional works should be no larger than 36” x 24” x 24”. Works that are selected will be evaluated for instructional purposes only.
*NOTE: All statements concerning the works reviewed and estimations made at this presentation are verbal estimations of value made for instructional purposes ONLY and cannot be used for any other purpose outside the event, and are invalid after April 24 without a signed document from Ms. Gentile.
Valuation: Setting and Protecting the Value of Your Work is being presented in conjunction with Business of Art workshop series presented by the Gateway Arts Center, the Gateway Community Development Corporation, and the Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation with the assistance of the Prince George’s Arts and Humanities Council.

Washington Project for the Arts and Hamiltonian Artists present Art21: Change and History Episodes from Season 6 of Art21: Art in the Twenty-First Century, followed by artist-led discussions
Washington Project for the Arts and Hamiltonian Artists present screenings of two episodes from the sixth season of PBS’s acclaimed series Art in the Twenty-First Century. Each screening was followed by a discussion led by three local artists whose work resonates closely with the themes of the episode. The three artist-moderators will provide their own perspective on the theme and invite the audience into a broader dialogue on the ideas and artwork presented in the episode.
Screening One: History featuring a post-screening discussion led by artists Holly Bass, Mariah Johnson, and Matthew Mann
Date: Wednesday, April 18, 7pm
Location: Hamiltonian Gallery, 1353 U St., NW, Washington, DC
Art21: History highlights artists Marina Abramovic, Glenn Ligon, and Mary Reid Kelly. The post-screening discussion was moderated by three artists whose work examines histories both real and imagined through a range of diverse media, including painting, installation, performance, and poetry.
About the Moderators Holly Bass is a writer, performer, and director whose work explores the complex overlappings between race, gender, and colonization and connections between past occurrences and contemporary culture. Her pieces have been workshopped and presented at respected regional theaters and performance spaces such as The Kennedy Center, Arena Stage, Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Experience Music Project in Seattle.
Mariah Johnson is a visual artist, originally from Little Rock, Arkansas and currently residing in Washington, DC. While her work focuses on the transformation of ordinary objects into intricate and visually compelling installations, it also explores the lives of these objects, their past uses, and the role they play in the relationships that define the domestic sphere. Her work has been exhibited at Arlington Arts Center, Washington Project for the Arts, and Artisphere, among other venues. She is currently serving as the 2012 Artist in Residence at the Cafritz Foundation Arts Center on the Takoma Park/ Silver Spring Campus of Montgomery College.
Matthew Mann was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lives and works in Washington, DC. His paintings and drawings integrate and interrogate historical imagery, drawing on the tropes of Renaissance painting, modern film, and cartoons, among other influences, to create visual worlds at once coherent and absurd. His work has been shown at Flashpoint Gallery, Honfluer Gallery, McLean Project for the Arts, and Gross McLeaf Gallery. Mann is currently a Fellow at Hamiltonian Artists.
Screening Two: Change featuring a post-screening discussion led by artists Michael Iacovone and Adrian Parsons
Date: Wednesday, May 2, 7pm
Location: Hamiltonian Gallery, 1353 U St., NW, Washington, DC
Art21: Change features artists Ai Weiwei, El Anatsui, and Catherine Opie. The post-screening discussion was moderated by two artists who engage with shifting social relationships and political conflicts, working in the public sphere and blurring the lines between art and activism.
Michael Dax Iacovone is an artist and teacher whose work explores public space and our relationship with the surrounding landscape. Free Space Collective, a partnership between Iacovone and artist Billy Friebele, engages the public through projects that explore the shifting nature of urban space. In 2010, Iacovone and co-organizer Mike Blasenstein garnered attention and praise for organizing and presenting the Museum of Censored Art in response to the removal of David Wojnarowicz’s Fire in My Belly, from the exhibitions Hide/ Seek at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. Iacovone is an alumnus of the Hamiltonian Fellowship Program.
Adrian Parsons is an activist and a provocative performance artist whose work is based on aiding or subverting the body and its interactions with systems. Most recently, he gained national attention for his efforts in favor of DC voting rights, including a twenty-five day hunger strike. Parsons has shown at The Fridge, Flashpoint, Dorian Grey Gallery and The Warehouse in an offshoot of the DC Arts Fair. He has collaborated with SUNY Buffalo's Matt Sargent in sound & video offerings and most recently founded the performance art team Kool Raunch Collective with dancer Sebastian Rousseau of Korzo Theater Den Haag.

Studying at the Corcoran School of Art under Gene Davis, she was awarded the Eugene M. Weisz award upon graduation. In 1989 and 1990, Goldberg produced and curated a 14-part lecture series, “Voices of Our Time,” which explored the relationship between art and science—a long held interest for the artist.
Since 2005, Goldberg has produced a series of “Circle Paintings,” fifty-five of which were exhibited at The American University Museum here in 2007, before traveling throughout Spain and Mexico.
Goldberg recently began working on a series of bronze sculptures which have now grown in scale to now mimic human proportions, and are included in the sculpture grounds of both the Kreeger Museum and American University’s Katzen Arts Center here in Washington, DC.

About the Curator
Jau-lan Guo is a curator and professor. Her work is based on her study of new media art and globalization in relation to contemporary art. Her recent curatorial projects are situated within cultural activism, taking the view that curating can also interfere in political reality.
Guo is currently an Adjunct Professor in the Graduate Program in the Fine Arts Department of National University of Arts. Her dissertation “Robert Rauschenberg’s art in 1960s: Toward Postmodern” explored the intersections of Rauschenberg’s art and postmodern theories and criticism of the 1980s through queer studies, postmodern, and cross-disciplinary methods. While trained as an art historian in American art since 1960, her studies have been extended to contemporary art. Her curatorial projects include Polyphonic Mosaic: CO6 Avant-Grande Documenta , Exercise of 0 and 1, Anti-type: Floating over the Stereotype, Nostalgia for Future, and Somnambulism: Phantasmagoric Fugue.
Guo will present a public talk on Tuesday, July 12 from 6:30 to 7:30 at the WPA office at 2023 Massachusetts Ave, NW. Admission to the talk is free and open to the public.

!WOMEN ART REVOLUTION DC premiere and benefit screening for WPA
Thursday, June 2 at 7:30pm
at West End Cinema $20, includes free popcorn and soda
Purchase advance tickets at www.westendcinema.com
Celebrate the DC premiere of !Women Art Revolution with a benefit screening for WPA. The documentary by San Fransisco-based artist Lynn Hershman Leeson features an original score by Carrie Brownstein (formerly of Sleater-Kinney) and includes appearances by countless groundbreaking figures such as Marcia Tucker, Nancy Spero, Silvia Sleigh, Carolee Schneemann, Miriam Schapiro, B. Ruby Rich, Yvonne Rainer, Yoko Ono, Miranda July, The Guerrilla Girls, Judy Chicago and many others.
Forty-two years in the making, !W.A.R. charts the history of the Feminist Art Movement in America from the 1960s to the present and illuminates how this under-explored movement radically transformed the art and culture of our times. Hershman Leeson draws from hundreds of interviews with her contemporaries – visionary artists, historians, curators and critics – to present an intimate portrayal of their fight to break down the barriers facing women both in the art world and society at large. Through conversations, personal observations, art and rarely seen archival film and video footage, !W.A.R. traces the evolution of the Feminist Art Movement from its roots in the anti-war and civil rights forces of the 1960s through its major contributions to women’s art of the 1970s. It details the emergence of The Guerrilla Girls who became the conscience of the art world, holding galleries and museums accountable for discrimination, and reveals previously undocumented strategies used to politicize female artists and integrate women into art structures. Ultimately, Hershman Leeson and her collaborators were part of what many historians now claim is the most significant art movement of the late 20th century.

After lunch, the four workshop organizers will each offer a short session focused on their own interests and experiences. These short sessions will cover a variety of topics, including sounds and color, layering sound, collecting and listening, physical acoustics and much more.

THE CONTEMPORARY ART SCENE IN WASHINGTON TODAY
Panel 2 in a Series of 3 Organized by Washington Project for the Arts
Reframing the Gallery Model: Alternative Paths for Artistic Success
A panel discussion on achieving success without following the traditional gallery representation path co-presented with the Corocoran College of Art & Design.
Panelists: Whitney Frazier, Artist, Educator, Community Arts Organizer (Child First Authority) Janis Goodman, Artist, Professor (Corcoran College of Art + Design), Arts Reviewer (WETA’s “Around Town”) Judith HeartSong, Artist Allison Marvin, Art Advisor (Sightline)
Moderator: Andy Grundberg, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Chair, Photography Department (Corcoran College of Art + Design)
The Washington Metro area is home to a number of commercial galleries and an even greater number of artists searching for some form of commercial success. Obtaining representation by a commercial gallery may be the goal of some artists, but not all choose to define success by that metric alone. And should an artist actually obtain representation by a commercial gallery (whether in DC or NYC), the artist-gallery relationship is no guarantee of success. So, what does constitute artistic “success?” Do artists differentiate between commercial and artistic success? What are viable solutions for artists to support themselves by making art if there is no gallery in the picture? Artists, academics, and arts professionals provide a few answers to these questions and more.
Whitney Frazier is an artist and the Child First Authority Community Arts Coordinator. She organizes ART CORE, a team of community artists working with students in after-school programs for Baltimore City Public Schools. Frazier is a graduate of the MACA (MA in community arts) program at the Maryland Institute College Art, the first program of its kind in the US to offer an advanced degree with an arts and social justice focus.

Goodman is also a member of the artist group “Workingman Collective.” (http://www.janisgoodman.com/)
Andy Grundberg is a critic, curator, teacher, and arts consultant who has been involved with photography and art for more than 25 years. He has been a critic for The New York Times, organized major exhibitions, and has authored a number of books on the subject of photography. Grundberg was the director of The Friends of Photography in San Francisco, where he founded the quarterly journal see.
Judith HeartSong has been painting and muraling for more than 29 years in private residences and public spaces. She served as the Membership Chair for the Orlando Chapter of The Women's Caucus for Art, worked on the committee to organize the Winter Park Autumn Art Festival, and has planned, organized, and hung countless juried shows. HeartSong has developed and hosted popular painting workshops for law enforcement professionals, hospital care-givers, and mental health professionals, and has created and taught numerous programs to serve at-risk teens.
