SUMMARY:Past\, Present\, & Future Moves: Alexandra Antoine\, Paul Branton\, and Heather Polk in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Alexandra Antoine\, Paul Branton\, and Heather Polk work through collage and mixed media practices in reference to social and political commentaries\, the intimacies of Black life\, and cultural identity. \nAs concepts of the past\, present\, and future overlap within their practice\, they will discuss their individual concerns as artists\, what pushes their work forward\, and how art encourages us to look back to our past\, while looking ahead. \n \nHeather Polk is a sales and marketing professional with an active art practice that fills her nights and weekends. She resides in Chicago where she relocated from Atlanta almost 10 years ago. \nShe is working toward establishing a small art studio that will deliver programming for sufferers of chronic disease so that they\, and their caretakers\, may utilize the empowerment of artistic creativity as a vital part of their disease management. Her art practice is centered around collage and abstract painting. \n  \n \nAlexandra Antoine is an interdisciplinary artist based in Chicago\, IL. Her work examines traditional artistic practices throughout the African Diaspora with a focus on healing traditions\, identity and culture through the use of collage\, portraiture\, and most recently\, farming. She uses the portrait as a tool to re/present individuals of the African diaspora while exploring her relationship to them within the larger narrative of her Haitian identity. \nShe holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts and Arts Education from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been exhibited at Rootwork Gallery\, Hyde Park Art Center\, Roman Susan Gallery\, Chicago Art Department and Stony Island Arts Bank in Chicago\, IL and is part of the Arts in Embassies program in the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince\, Haiti. \n  \n \nPaul Branton was born in 1973 in Chicago. He was influenced at an early age by the sights & sounds of the South Side’s urban environment. Writing short stories & putting on plays with his sister quickly became a passion and a means of expressing himself. It was this passion that guided his education\, which ultimately guided his career. \nChoosing visual art as his main focus\, he entered Millikin University in Decatur\, Illinois\, majoring in Commercial Art with a strong emphasis in painting. It was at Millikin where he also discovered a love for poetry\, a strong desire for painting\, eventually putting on a one-man art exhibit displaying his works. During these same years\, he also helped his college buddy Skee Skinner with several student film projects\, opening up another doorway from which to express himself. Not only taking on writing & production credits\, Paul spent much of his time on both sides of the camera playing supporting and lead roles. \nHe combined the two art forms by creating a series of paintings for the feature film Pieces of a Dream\, in which he also portrayed a main character. Also merging visual art and poetry\, Paul put together the upcoming coffee table book To Dream In Colour. \nThe art of Paul Branton is/has been exhibited throughout Illinois\, including Millikin University\, South Side Community Art Center\, Gallery Guichard\, University of Illinois at Chicago\, Gallery D’Estee\, Phoenix Gallery\, NYCH Gallery\, Chicago Truborn\, Legendary Gallery\, Gallery na 19\, Art Basel Miami and Hyde Park Art Center. Paul served as a Juror for the 50th anniversary of Black Creativity (Museum of Science and Industry / Chicago) in 2020. His art hangs in the homes of private owners from New York to Los Angeles \n

SUMMARY:Chicago Printers’ Guild Fundraiser for SSCAC
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Printers Guild is rallying its members to support the efforts and contributions that the South Side Community Art Center continues to make in the Bronzeville Neighborhood and community at large. The South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) is the oldest independently-owned African American art center in the United States. Founded by Margaret Burroughs and other African-American artists in 1940\, the SSCAC boasts connections to printmakers Charles White and Elizabeth Catlett\, photographer Gordon Parks\, and the first woman to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize\, Gwendolyn Brooks. Today\, SSCAC serves as an exhibition space\, a venue for film and literary events\, and a host for educational talks and panels including: “Black and Informed” a series of discussions and political consultation for Black Millenials in Chicago; “Existing Between Line & Space” an exhibition which featured CPG member Thomas Lucas among others; and\, currently artist Jesse Howard’s solo exhibition “The Spirit of Community”. The historic wood-paneled walls of the Margaret Burroughs Gallery at SSCAC contain 80 years worth of holes made by artwork hung there. The space is full of energy and gravitas. The ceiling and lighting\, however\, are in need of improvement. The CPG and SSCAC leadership have identified this project as the focus for our fundraising campaign. This project is supported in part by a CityArts Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events.

SUMMARY:Jesse Howard – The Spirit of Community
DESCRIPTION:October 2020-December 2020\nJesse Howard’s first solo exhibition at South Side Community Art Center explores the Black American community as more than a singular philosophical concept of a culture\, but rather a more diversified community of multifaceted voices through a body of charcoal based works. Howard’s socially concerned work is informed by his own lived experiences growing up on Chicago’s west side and the collective societal challenges faced by Black Americans today.\nUtilizing charcoal\, watercolor\, and collage\, Howard’s figures are typically warped\, transcending time and space in their presentation\, yet very attuned to the social realities and hardships experienced by Black Americans in urban environments. With close attention\, Howard’s striking portrait drawings also reveal moments of glory\, honor\, and elevation.
