The Aesthetics of Elderhood: Artworks on Ageism by Amy J. Fleming
Friday, Feb 8, 2019 Opening Reception 
Exhibit Runs thru Apr. 15


Ageism has been described as one of the most institutionalized forms of prejudice and it directly affects the wellbeing of those it targets. It is also the only form of discrimination we will all face if only we live long enough. Parallels can be found in hyper-consumerism where the old is discarded to make room for the new.

Local printmaker, Amy Fleming has become interested in ideas surrounding ageism and disposability. As part of her creative process, Fleming rescues lost and neglected items such as rusting gearshifts, china shards, and broken bottles. She photographs these remnants of consumer culture and incorporates them into her screenprints.

Fleming's artwork prominently features portraits of mature women, most of them regulars at the City of Tallahassee Senior Center. Using images of mass produced, discarded objects, Fleming creates royal robes and crowns for each elder citizen. They smile in the foreground, appearing as iconic as a saint, and are haloed by radiator hoses and hairspray bottles.
The portraits highlight the subjects' strength and convey their inherent beauty and the value of a community's elders. This exhibition includes 130 individual artworks which serve as a reminder that a diverse older population is critical for a healthy intergenerational society.

The exhibit will be on display from Jan. 30 - Apr. 15 in City Hall Gallery, 300 South Adams Street, second floor lobby of Tallahassee's City Hall. It is free to the public and open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Parking is available in Kleman Plaza.

Grantwriting Workshop with Kevin Carr & Flora Maria Garcia
Thursday, Feb 7, 2019 


COCA will be hosting a free grant writing workshop with Kevin Carr and special guest speaker Flora Maria Garcia, the President and CEO of United Arts of Central Florida.
This grant workshop is not specific to writing a COCA grant application, but it is designed to offer advice and recommendations for writing grants more broadly. The purpose of the workshop is to highlight some of the basic and important practical skills related to grant writing. Most of the participants will be relatively inexperienced grantwriters. We will discuss several state and regional grant opportunities that are available to arts organizations.
