WHAT'S GOIN' ON? STARTS TODAY
African American Artists respond to current events. Several of "Ja-kah's " visual artists and others take part in the annual Through Our Eyes art exhibit. The theme for this year is "What's Goin' On." With a theme like that, it gives every artist the opportunity to "r e a l l y express" themselves through their art. Many of these artists rarely use art to make a political statement. This show visualize abortion, murder, hair, the school system as well as the injustice of our laws. This exhibit is not intended to offend anyone. Please come with an open mind and view the world "Through Our Eyes." JCAAA members in this exhibit are Marsha Hatcher, Suzanne Pickett, Keith Doles, Annelies Dygraaf, Rhonda Bristol, Lawrence Walden, Roosevelt Watson, Traci Mims-Jones, Overstreet Ducasse, Gil Mayers, Daniel Wynn , Yuwasami,and exhibit curator Lydia Stewart.

THE ASSEMBLY LINE by Princess Rashid
PRINCESS RASHID (featured artist for the month of May)Show opens, May 2, 2007-ARTWALK NIGHT!Location: The Art Center Cooperative Gallery31 W. Adams Street6-8 pm
“The Assembly Line” exhibition is indicative of her belief and style that works of art are not just inspired but they are the product of hard and systematic work. Each painting leads to the production of another until there exists a body of work that leads the viewer closer to the mind and heart of the artist.

RHONDA BRISTOL (New member)
Rhonda Bristol is a painter working in clay ... who is equally concerned with texture, shape and form. This artist imbues her pieces with ancestral harmonies, lingering memories and contextual history. She is fascinated with form and loves telling parts of stories ... showing snatches of shared past times in powerful dreamtime segments. These works encapsulate a third worldiness often with an encoded message. One might wonder who is the one with the mask and why we have lost our ability to read the silence. Rhonda C. Bristol - Art Teacher ***Welcome to JCAAA Rhonda!***
