Catch This: Arts Corps exhibit at Frye Art Museum

Today in local art

Arts Corps students have curated an exhibit at the Frye. From the press release:

I Wish I Knew Who I Was Before I Was Me was initiated by the Frye Art Museum in collaboration with Arts Corps and curated by Arts Corps students from Youngstown Cultural Arts Center with Arts Corps' MusicianCorps fellow Amos Miller and teaching artist Roberto Ascalon. This project was inspired by, and opens in conjunction with, the exhibit, "Tim Rollins and K.O.S.: A History."

Over the course of several months, students participated in the behind-the-scenes operations of the Museum, working together with Ascalon and Miller to select objects from the Frye's permanent collection and to determine an exhibition theme and title. Incorporating music, poetry, and spoken word, I Wish I Knew Who I Was Before I Was Me includes the students' responses to the artwork they chose for the exhibition.

The Frye is open every day except Mondays, and offers its stellar programming for free.

Arts Corps is a fantastic program, which has been providing a bright spectrum of arts education to underserved students in the Puget Sound area for ten years.

Pardon the cliché, but this seems like a match made in heaven. Don't miss it.
