spring fellowship exhibition 2021

This online exhibition features artwork created by young artists during the Spring Factory Fellowship.

In this fellowship, young artists develop their individual creative voices by making photo-based artwork. Artist Mentors work one-on-one with these young artists to encourage creativity: going on photo shoots, discussing the process and sharing inspiration. This community of young artists meets in person at the Print Room, via Zoom, and through an online photo-sharing platform. Young artists receive a stipend for their dedication during the 8-week Factory Fellowship, which is offered spring, summer and fall.

Thank you to the Cleveland Foundation for their support of our Arts Mastery Teen Institute. And thank you to our Artist Mentors: Orlando Caraballo, Aja Grant, Da’Shaunae Jackson, Melinda Placko, Helen Severovich, and Julia Van Wangenen.

In this photo project the theme is OUR STORY NOW. I tried to capture and portray the emptiness, loneliness and distance we have been feeling throughout covid through my photographs. So when you look at them you can understand or relate in a way to how covid made so many feel. Bringing awareness to the mental health side of what this pandemic brought.
