About the Event
CEAM Artist-in-Residence Erin Kendrick January – April 2022. Her solo exhibition opening November 4, 2022.
Much of Kendrick’s work evolves from historical research, and during her residency, the artist will explore the connection between the Negro baseball leagues, including the Cuban Giants who played in St. Augustine, and the Hotel Ponce de Leon, current-day Flagler College. In addition, we will partner with Fort Mose Historic State Park to organize art workshops for area K-12 schools, in conjunction with their annual event Flight to Freedom. The artist’s research and engagement with some of the Black historical sites of St. Augustine will inform a new body of work for an exhibition to be held at CEAM in November 2022.
Kendrick’s impressive body of work and her commitment to a community-based practice coalesce with the ethos of the CEAM Artist Residency and we look forward to having her on campus.
The CEAM Artist Residency, in collaboration with Flagler College’s Department of Art & Design, is a regular program of artists-in-residence to engage in themes of place-making while collaborating with some aspect of St Augustine’s local community, the city’s significant and varied roles in American history, or its rich natural environment.
The CEAM Artist Residency is supported by a grant from the Dr. JoAnn Crisp-Ellert Fund at The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida.
