Meet the Blogger

Hello everyone!

My name is Olivia Urciuoli, the summer intern at Hera Gallery and I will be running the blog for the rest of the summer, so I felt I should introduce myself!

My entire life I have had an interest in art, but never found myself pursuing an artistic career. The same goes for music, fashion and environmental science. I never took the route of being a musician or getting a degree in fashion or environmental science, but I always felt I resonated with the individuals who took on these incredible, meticulous studies. The reason I say this is because even though I didn't feel I would succeed in these fields, I decided to study public relations. I am able to work for non-profits like Hera Gallery because in PR, I am able to incorporate ideas, put my writing skills to the test and contribute to an organization I'm genuinely interested in.

What I hope to achieve in writing for Hera Gallery's blog and in my overall internship experience, is to understand the art world from inside! I have already been able to achieve this by getting an extensive look into the URI Exhibition, which I will be posting about in upcoming weeks!

I'm excited to have this opportunity with Hera Gallery and hope the audience is open to what I provide for the team!

Thank you all for listening and being a part of this community! I hope you all, along with your friends and families, are safe and healthy during these challenging times.

Best,
Olivia Urciuoli

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
