Introducing Our New Intern: Lindsey Bailer!

By -
Hello! 

My name is Lindsey Bailer and I am very excited to say that I am the new intern at the Hera Gallery!  I just graduated from the University of Rhode Island a few weeks ago with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.  Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to do something in the arts.  My dad, a RISD alumnus, was always nurturing and guiding my artistic tendencies. 

Throughout my URI career, my focus was mainly in digital photography.  I love creating images that advertise ideas and/or opinions. Besides actually creating art, I have a strong desire to educate the public on the importance of art and the influence it has on our day-to-day lives.  I realized this desire during my treatment at Hasbro’s Children’s Hospital after being diagnosed with cancer during my senior year of High School. While undergoing chemotherapy, I was exposed to the healing power of art – art both displayed throughout Hasbro and art created in the comfort and security of the Tomorrow Fund Clinic.

I feel a gallery environment is a wonderful place to educate people on art the importance of art.  Each show introduces new points of view, ideas, and opinions that viewers can ponder. One day I hope to be a conduit for artists to broadcast and showcase their art and positively affect the lives of the viewer.  

I am so grateful and excited for this internship because it will be a wonderful platform to help me understand the behind-the scenes aspect of a gallery.  Each skill gained from this experience will help me thrive in the gallery world with the intent to change lives through art and make a difference in the world.

The Following is a repost from todays Providence Journal. I thought that those of you heading to the Providence Place Mall might find this particular use of commercial and communal space interesting. He wanted a new sofa. She thought the apartment could use more color. When friends stayed over, they often wound up sleeping on the floor. Clearly, everyone agreed, it was time for a change. And so, just days before their secret hideaway was discovered and their exploits became the stuff of local legend, the artists who spent nearly four years homesteading inside Providence Place mall were about to do something that homeowners everywhere can relate to. They were about to redecorate. “We had it all planned,” says Michael Townsend, the lanky 37-year-old mastermind behind what some have called inspired performance art and others, including mall officials, have termed an illegal “violation” of private property. “We had a bunch of new furniture, including a new sofa, new chairs and a very nice
