Local Artist shows "Matriarch" in Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Broward County, FL - Broward based artist Tara Chadwick brings digital art to a new show in Palma de Mallorca, Spain this week. After a well attended opening reception and art party this weekend, the show has already produced its first sale. Digital work by Tara Chadwick included in the show was featured as  public art billboard in the Allapattah neighborhood of Miami during Art Basel/ Miami Art Week last year. The piece titled "Matriarch" was also shown at London Contemporary during Frieze last week, and earlier this summer in Zurich and Venice. 

Chadwick hopes to inspire a greater sense of  appreciation and personal accountability among her audience and collectors when it comes to issues of climate, water and biodiversity. 

"We all need to take part in our responsibity to care for Mother Earth and each other, and I hope seeing this image will help people find peace, balance and a practice of taking action!" TChadwick

The show includes a variety of works including photography, sculpture and mixed media and is organized by Jenny Rose of Art Box Projects based in Zurich, Switzerland in collaboration with World Wide Galleries and Artboxy.

Social Innovator in Broward County, FL Wins

Prestigious Innovation Fellowship

 

CoGenerate selects Tara Chadwick, founding director of the Papalotl (Butterfly) Project for fellowship dedicated to groundbreaking intergenerational solutions

 

Broward County, FL, October 20, 2022 -- CoGenerate (formerly Encore.org) today announced that Tara Chadwick has been selected as one of 15 Gen2Gen Innovation Fellows, a group of the nation’s most talented innovators and entrepreneurs marshaling their best ideas to create and scale intergenerational solutions.

 

Tara Chadwick, a local artist and social innovator was selected from a field of more than 120 applicants. Her project brings elders and children together to share knowledge about food, health and urban farming through art and culture.

 

“I am honored and excited to join CoGenerate in their third cohort of Innovation Fellows focused on strengthening our practice of bringing people together across generations and geographies to build knowledge through vibrant, intercultural experiences.” TChadwick

 

CoGenerate, a nonprofit bridging generational divides, launched the fellowship to spur and support new ways to bring older and younger people together to solve pressing problems.

 

The 15 fellows selected, ranging in age from 27 to 75, are bridging generational divides while also fighting for racial and environmental justice, empowering immigrant communities, healing trauma, registering young people to vote, reducing ageism and loneliness, and so much more.

 

“In these polarizing times, the Innovation Fellows pull people together to seek solutions, build bridges across divides, and find deeper connection in the process,” says CoGenerate Co-CEO Eunice Lin Nichols. “We’re inspired by the urgency, creativity and impact of their work.”

 

Over the next nine months, fellows will meet with one another and with experts who will help them advance their work. Each fellow will receive $10,000 and the chance to present their ideas at a showcase taking place in 2023. 

 

The Innovation Fellowship is funded by The Eisner Foundation, John Templeton Foundation, the May & Stanley Smith Charitable Trust, and RRF Foundation for Aging.

Just in time for London's biggest art week of the year, The Line hosts #LondonContemporary on now through October 20th at 253 Hoxton in the arts district of #EastLondon.

Exhibition Review

Amid global representations of experimental performance, design and mixed media, #Matriarch stands out as beacon and bridge, offering a reconnection with nature, conscience and the cyclical ebb and flow of seasonal migration and the human spirit.

Launching the Papalotl (Butterfly) Project 2022-23

It is with a great amount of gratitude that I announce our 2022 launch of the Papalotl (Butterfly) Project. 

In a switch from past years, the project seeks to expand knowledge of how to foster intergenerational communication around social, agricultural and environmental science while engaging in culture based contemporary art. 

The Papalotl (Butterfly) Project will work with preschool children and seniors to develop their awareness and appreciation of community held scientific knowledge, then develop best practices for cross generational sharing through art. 

A pilot test of the program was conducted in 2021-22 and will expand to monthly workshops, presentations, and sharing circles with a capstone showcase. 

If you have attended a Papalotl workshop or presentation, please click here to complete the following 5 questions: Here's what I learned about #MesoamericanDanza today. (All questions are optional!)

Thank you!

Friendly Neighbors

Storms bring us so much to think through and let go of, whether we're ready or not. Today's news clips of the realities our west coast neighbors are living through bring back so many memories of rough times gone by. I just happened to be reflecting last week, long before we knew what was to come our way yesterday. 

Thankful for all the helpers and doers, remembering those in need of our assistance, and maintaining focus on the path ahead and how we can keep building together for a future where life matters at least as much as our comforts.

Last call to see Golden Promise in Rome.

Golden Promise juxtaposes the imminent occurrence of sea level rise with citizen science water monitoring, contemporary art, performance and non point source water pollution prevention in locations surrounding my neighborhood. At a time when we struggle to find joy, clarity, understanding and purpose, I continue my commitment to honor self, family and community through local interactions amplified globally. By sharing personal reflections, actions and experimentations, I hope to inspire friends, neighbors and strangers to take note of the beauty and responsibility we have in protecting nature. It is here that we find peace, nourishment and our blueprint to the future.
