Join Us Tomorrow, April 29th from 6.00-8.00pm, On Books and Prints: A

Conversation with Shea’la Finch of Tiny Showcase,

Deb Dormody of If ‘N Books + Marks and Jen Corace, local artist and

freelance illustrator

Please join us Wednesday evening for New Urban Arts’ fourth Conversations on

Creative Practice with Providence arts

entrepreneurs, Shea’la Finch, Deb Dormody and Jen Corace as they talk about

making a living in the arts.

Shea’la Finch is an illustrator and co-proprietor of Tiny Showcase, which

she created with Jon Buonaccorsi in November of

2004. Every week they pick a new piece of tiny artwork and turn the work

into a limited-run print production with a percentage of

the money from each print sold donated to a charity chosen by the artist.

Deb Dormody is a bookbinder and arts organizer who creates journals, photo

albums, bookmarks and other fun paper goods in

her studio, which is located in a century-old mill building. Deb created

If’n Books + Marks in 2000 when she started making blank journals and photo

albums by hand. She now sells her books to about 200 stores around the

country.

Jen Corace is a children’s book illustrator and fine artist whose work

ranges from monthly illustrations for the Portland Mercury,

record cover design, web design and product design for her own site and

small stores throughout the country. Most recently her

first children’s book, “Little Pea”, written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, was

published by Chronicle Books.

This Conversation shares stories about how these three entrepreneurial women

distribute both their own work and the work of

others while making an impact on the world around them. Please come share

your stories.

Conversations are located at 743 Westminster Street and are free and open to

the public.

New Urban Arts Series: Conversations on Creative Practice is a series in

which unique individuals share how they integrate

creativity into their personal and professional lives and is made possible

through generous support of the Rhode Island

Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. This event is organized

by New Urban Arts Fellows, Andrew Oesch and

New Urban Arts is a nationally recognized arts studio for high school

students and emerging artists in Providence, Rhode

Island. Our mission is to build a vital learning community that empowers

young people, developing creative practices they can

sustain throughout their lives. We serve 150 high school students and 20

emerging artists through after-school and summer

programs each year.

ziU2VE-KPJ2jDtJuycjpugxpI640bdZrmY4tOf5ezTGPuTJXVw==]In

1986, this artist’s diary disappeared. 14 years later a stranger returned

it to

her and she embarked on a project to transform each of the 72 pages into a

new

drawing. Here, for the first time, all 72 drawings are reproduced in a

full-color

book. Printed in a signed, limited edition of 100, each book has unique

hand-written

entries added by the artist. The original set of drawings, as well as

hand-embellished

fine reproductions, will also be available.
