I'm very excited about a link Islay recommended to me: RESPONDESIGN. This definitely seems like a good resource for the exhibition I am planning (based on landscape architecture and sustainable design). It's the website of the RISD student sustainability group. Judging by what I read off their "what we do" tab, it seems like they are pretty open to exchanging ideas with others interested in sustainability and other environmental issues. Although the group focuses on the RISD/Brown community, I am hoping to bring my idea and other ideas from the URI community to their attention, and be able to network with them to gain some participants for my exhibition. I think it would be great to have the educational communities of northern and southern Rhode Island unite to promote the exchange of ideas on these important issues!

Hera Gallery is excited to highlight artists from the 2020 URI Senior Seminar Online Catalogue, which is available now through our website! Nicole Elyse Young: "Instinct/Dreaming of You/Lucy" "This process for me has been enlightening and therapeutic. In a confusing and frustrating time, I was thankful for the opportunity to have a creative outlet. I thought a lot about what I like to draw and why. I find I have the most success when I sit down with a cup of coffee and no distractions. I gathered any materials I could find, including flashcards for paper and Tupperware lid as my pallet, and began to reflect on my subject matter. The more I made, the more I realized the materials are simply a device to explain my dreams in the physical world."  To read more about this artist and view the rest of the catalogue, visit heragallery.org and stay tuned for more artist features!
