The African American Cultural Center in Charlotte, NC, Offers Works by Fellows & Lee Stewart
The African American Cultural Center in Charlotte,
NC, is presenting an exhibition of works featuring the talents
and expertise embodied in the AACC's Roundtable Professional Artist
Fellows. Selected works will feature photographs, collage, sculpture,
fiber, three dimensional, and folk art in a multidisciplinary
exhibition on view through Aug. 30, 2005.
Vikkii Graham, Community Cultural Programs Director, says, "I
am pleased that we are featuring the combined talents of all the
current Roundtable Fellows and anticipate a colorful show full
of creativity and layers of diverse mediums. They are an eager
group with an exceptional creative spark for developing and nurturing
support for the Center."
This exhibition will also spotlight the artwork of Lee Stewart
in Road to Kamasi, a unique exhibit of manual mode - alternative
photographic processing. Stewart was most recently awarded an
Emerging Artists award by the Mecklenburg Arts and Science Council
for creating a new body of work using alternative photo processes.
Stewart is also an AACC Roundtable Fellow. Graham says "Lee
Stewart is a seasoned veteran artist whose new art form combines
a very exciting perspective using video, photography and painting."
The AACC Roundtable Artist consist of 14 core artists who have
engaged in a 10-month educational forum, and designed effective
techniques for developing educational programming and teaching
skills. The Roundtable, in its 4th year of operation, is an initiative
spawned by the Arts and Science Council's Artsteach Program, and
in the past was funded in part by the National Endowment of the
Arts. It is currently funded by the North Carolina Arts Council.
The professional development program augments the AACC's ability
to nurture developing artists while using them as workshop and
program facilitators, as well as resident programming associates.
