Albus Cavus and Bread For The City

This summer I got the awesome chance to hang out with the folks from Bread for The City! We decorated shopping bags for food at a number of free farmers markets, painted DC voting right hands at each center and got to garden and learn about natural ways to keep bugs out of your garden. What a fun summer!

Thank You ALBUS CAVUS!

In the last two years I have been heavily working with Peter Krsko and Albus Cavus. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for being so welcomed into this collective. It has really given me a place and a community to share my love for art and further inspire others. I would not have started my own classroom out of The Fridge without Albus Cavus, I would not have met the artist I know now without Albus Cavus. I would not have been able to travel and create large murals here in DC without the invitation from Albus Cavus. And finally but most important, I would not have been able to become part of the Perry School family and meet all the rad little kids I know and teach now, without Albus Cavus. The picture above is just one day in a full 365 days. I wish I had a picture for every day that I get to work with the collective and Peter...I am so thankful for meeting this group and for everything it has brought me. Words, Words, Words...I know they mean nothing, but the time I get to spend with these kids...cheezy, but PRICELESS!

Painting with bread for the city

A few years ago I started a project I called Eat Your Heart out. It was a community art/ service project. Read more about it here. I have been talking Bread for the City in trying to make the project a reality and getting food in the bags. Today we had our first paint session at the open farmers market. Awesome weather and great people!

"I realized it was ridiculous..being afraid worrying about everything..wishing I was dead and all that s*%#. I'm tired of it. Cameron" - Ferris Beuller's Day Off

Being overly concerned with how people view you and being worried and afraid is no way to live. Each piece whether individual or within community speaks to our insecurities, doubts, fears, and worries. We all have a brightness and color to offer the world but will we al...low it to hold us back..or will we decide to come into who we are and be who we are meant to be?

The second week of Making Mythology

Come join Albus Cavus and The Fridge crew Sunday for the second week of Making Mythology. This Sunday you, your friends and family can create and be inspired by an amazing mask and costume builder, Jeramie Bellmay. Jeramie creates costumes for a variety of performers including many of the outfits and hats for one of my favorites, magician David London.

Jeramie Bellmay is a multi-disciplinary artist, whose work exists in both two and three dimensions, and often crosses into the fourth. He has devoted his life to exploring mediums and utilizing them to deepen his understanding of the natural and magical world around us. His experience includes painting, sculpture, wood burning, installations, theater, as well as set, prop & costume design and construction. His ongoing body of work entitled Perception Altar most recently showed in Washington, DC at The Fridge in 2010. His work emerges out of a deep seated desire for movement, geometry, balance and play.

Albus Cavus is an international collective of artists, educators and visionaries who work and create in public space. The organization operates in DC, NJ and CA. Our installations physically beautify the neighborhoods and promote development of healthy and strong communities through interactive art and events.

Education is an important element of our work. In January 2010 we have established the first series of workshops related to public art in The Fridge. Now, the themes of the workshops include art, science, technology, urban planning, etc.

All classes are located at 516 8th street SE DC rear alley

Albus Cavus Classroom
Collage and Creativity Workshop
with visitng artist Jen Besemer

Jen Besemer creates extraordinary pictures using ordinary scissors, bits of paper, and glue. Join Jen on Sunday, March 20th at The Fridge as she shares a few of her favorite projects!

Participants will learn how to create three unique collages from a selection of everyday materials. You'll be amazed what you can make from scraps and sticky stuff!

All ages are encouraged.

Jen Besemer works with words, actions and images to expose hidden relationships (and discover new ones) between and within those media. “Misusing” text, processes and products to create camouflaged or hybrid forms, Jen comments on the entrenched systems of contemporary life and the unresolved contradictions they generate.

Also, join Jen on Friday, March 18th at Dolcezza Gelato for her opening of “Fastidious Travelers” featuring a collection of her collage work. Mention The Fridge and get a free scoop of Gelato!

The Folly

I wore my new tights that my mom got me to the opening party for the new art and lit magazine, The Folly. Check out the event here! Special thanks to my buddy Ben Droz for always taking the best photos!

I'd ride this train all day

Saw a visiting poetry group at The Fridge last night. What an amazing group of poets, what an amazing surprise! Jon Sands was one of them.

Sock Dreams

My awesome and super rock'n neighbor, Boolish Lady, suggested I check out this site with my recent tights obsession. So glad I did!

Live Fast

Almost ready for "LIVE FAST" A Harley Davidson Inspired Art Group Show with Art Whino.

Albus Cavus Workshops

I can't tell you how much I look forward to the Albus Cavus Sunday Workshops. Oscar has been my Sunday School assistant, and so far he has been fabulous!

Thsi past Sunday was the final class of the Poetry workshops. J.T. Bullock ran a class on story telling and poetry. What a fun time, and you could tell that everyone had gotten better at writing poetry and more comfortable with sharing their feelings through words. I even wrote a fictional poem about He Man writing home from camp as a child, pretty fun.

Natalie Illum's poetry class started off the series of workshops. We all realized pretty quickly that Natural had a 'natural' talent with words. What a wonderful start to an amazing series of workshops!

Don't miss this Sunday's Albus Cavus Workshop!
