The City of Roanoke and the Roanoke Arts Commission seek qualified artists or artist
teams to design, fabricate and install artwork in the Market Square Walkway Pedestrian
Bridge. The art will hang in the tower end of the bridge on a bracket that will support up to
1000 lbs.
OVERVIEW
• The Arts Commission desires art work that will not only include a piece hanging from
the bracket in the tower, but that may utilize other areas of the bridge so that the
viewer’s eye will be drawn to the hanging artwork.
• The artwork will be indoors in an area with minimal cooling and heating
• Due to height of the bracket the artwork should be durable and require little or no
maintenance
• Existing art that is one of a kind will be considered

?Dear Friends,

?

I hope that everyone had a great summer and was able to enjoy the good weather that finally arrived in Providence during the past few weeks. I?m writing to share the news of the success of the Printshop?s first ?Introduction to Screenprinting? taught in Spanish, which took place in July. The opportunity to participate in this class was made available to employees and members of organizations who service the local Hispanic community. We had a great turn out, members of Olneyville Neighborhood Association and English for Action not only made some incredible prints but also were able to share perspectives and ideas about the application of screen printing. This was an invaluable experience for the Printshop, many thanks to all the individuals who contributed to make this opportunity a huge success.

The workshop,?Introducció®�Ša la Serigrafí¡” is being offered again during the month of September. The class will take place over two four hour sessions, Sundays 13^th and 20^th from 1-5pm. We recognize that through your organization,you service the local Hispanic community by promoting the development of cultural and educational opportunities, because of this we would like to invite you to participate in this workshop to not only learn the screen printing process but to get to know your local Community Printshop as well.

In the workshop, students will learn the basics of the photo-emulsion process, a variety of? ways to make positives, how to mix to ink and troubleshoot the process, as well as registration and various printing methods. Supplies will be provided by the Printshop. Students are encouraged to bring drawings, or computer-generated designs to the first class. There are five individual spots available in the class, those interested in participating should respond with a confirmation to this e-mail.

 

In exchange for the opportunity to participate in one of our workshops, we hope that you can provide us with your opinion and suggestions regarding your experience in the shop. This being a new initiative, we anticipate the possibilities of improving our approach. If you are interested in participating in this opportunity, please respond to this email. Or if you know of any other individuals who might be interested in this opportunity, please forward this email to them.
