The internationally recognized Let’s Re-Make art collaborative will be working on the Vanderbilt University campus and in the Nashville community the week of Nov. 17. The theme of the project is "Shelter."
Students are invited to contribute to a blog, make posters, help distribute the posters in the community and attend a talk with Let’s Re-Make and other artists working in the public arena to learn about current and future projects.
These activities will take place on the Vanderbilt campus:
• Wednesday, Nov. 19, and Thursday, Nov. 20, 2-6 p.m. in Sarratt Studio Arts Room 123, students will be helping to design and produce large posters around the shelter theme.
• Friday, Nov. 21, at noon, students will meet at The Commons Center and then begin posting the posters around Nashville.
The Let’s Re-Make piece is the first phase of a year-long Nashville Cultural Arts Project (NCAP) project called "Art Makes Place: Contemporary Artists Make Community-based, Public Art in the Form of Temporary, Site-specific and Performance-based Artworks," or AMP. Each project specifically includes public school and Vanderbilt students, and results in a temporary, site-specific or performance-based artwork. AMP is organized by NCAP in collaboration with Metro Nashville Public Schools, Vanderbilt and the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, with funding from the Metro Nashville Arts Commission, Vanderbilt and the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation.
