<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our exhibition <em>"If Jazz Was a <span style="color: #674ea7;">Color</span></em> will be opening shotly. It'll run the duration of Carnival season until March 5th featuring New Orleans new, emerging and established artists. We're locate at <strong>1501 Canal Street</strong> in the old historic, Texaco building that is part of<em> HRI Properties Bienville Basin Development.</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The <em>jazz</em> part of the exhibition is purely a metaphor. If sound/music is a vibration as well as color, if you switch the genre what color would jazz be? The artists are to allowed to express themselves in whatever dirction that vibration takes them.</span><br />

Greensboro -- "Recovering My Soul: Reinventing My Life past Katrina" will hang at The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital from Aug. 28- Sept. 30. "Recovering My Soul…" features the works of Bennett College Artist in Residence Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney as well as Vita Jones, Sterline Ritchie Lacey, Marcia Walls, Kichea Burt and Karen Bethea and featured pieces from a traveling exhibit on Katrina. <br /><br />"One thing I have discovered as this story unfolds is the overwhelming number of people who have something to say," Mooney says. "Not only citizens of the Gulf Coast living elsewhere, but friends, family and others who stood by in horror and worry for their loved ones who where valiantly trying to survive those tragic days." <br /><br />This exhibit features about a dozen pieces of art, including photography. It is the latest exhibit in the Community Art program, which displays the works of a different artist from the community each month.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I discovered today that not only we will be observing the 10th anniversary of <strong>Hurricane Katrina</strong> that for some of us, early Sept will also mark the 50th anniversary of <strong>Hurricane Betsy </strong>both of which I barely escaped by having moved away 2 weeks prior to Betsy and not returning just two weeks before Katrina and the levees breaking. Go figure.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I wanted to revisit this that I did in 2005, exhausted, shocked, grieving, angry, dismayed proud, every emotion went through me just a few days after the levees broke and the first time a reporter had the gall to call the citizens of New Orleans "refugees"... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I wondered whomever it was that did it as I do not recall, every rue the day that he or she made a colossal mistake...</span><br />

As part of that team, <em>Rhythm & Hues @ 1501 </em>will make the prints available. or you can go to her website at <a href="http://www.michelelambertartist.com/">www.michelelambertartist.com</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Michele's Artist Statement </strong>(in part)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>“I believe if you paint it well enough the subject doesn’t matter. My body of work is a collection of what moves me. I paint because I am driven to say something. It’s about expressing emotions and passion. It’s so much bigger than me. I listen to my inner voice, push past the fear of judgment and appreciate the results.My artwork is like me, it is very simple and direct. You don’t have to question what you are looking at. I am a purist by nature. I don’t use props, projectors or mixed media. I work only with acrylic and water. I don’t follow any rules, I don’t measure, I don’t have a plan. I have a natural ability to put things into perspective. I visualize it and I paint it</em>.</span><br />

<div class="blogger-post-footer">Life's rarest moments are derived from change. The heart outgrows old happiness, old grief, and suns itself in feelings new and strange. The most enduring pleasure is but brief.~ Unknown</div>Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney, artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04157770388953500175noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7764273438477085133.post-939969559066006772015-07-04T13:24:00.000-05:002015-07-04T13:35:22.475-05:00Up! Up & Away! Lydia's 1st Purle Moon to close July 6th,2015<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Lydia's 1st Purple Moon exhibition will close as of July 6th. Opening August 1 is <strong>"Changed Waters: Thrown Rocks, Building Castles".</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I absolutely enjoyed working with the artists in both Phase One and Phase Two of <em>Lydia's 1st Purple Moon.</em> It is always a challenge not unfamiliar to most artists to get their work out there to be viewed. The purpose in <em>Rhythm & Hues @ 1501 </em>has been from a standpoint of caring. To give both new, emerging and yes even established, seasoned working artists an opportunity a window a moment to express themselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I was not expecting when I proposed to <em>HRI Properties</em> back in Nov 2014 to set up some art for a few weeks while waiting their new tenants <em>Dunkin' Donuts</em> to come in to open up that 8 months later we would still be here! Many thanks you are issue routinely to both companies as we happily accomodate. It has been a win-win for all parties.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We operate with zero operational money outside of my ability and skill to find a<em> way out of no way!</em> No I do not get paid for this, I am purely volunteering. There have been moments when I had planned to close down because as with anything there will always be detractors; ones who play armchair quarterbacks or resent the fact you put it all out there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My intentions were for my fellow senior neighbors to have something lovely to look at as they came off the elevators and for the pedastrian traffic as well as the tourist riding our streetcars when they see this historic building and its seasoned tenants they have a sight to behold!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I plan to do as such with the upcoming "<em>Changed Waters:Thrown Rocks, Building Castles" </em>opening <strong>August 1-Sept 7th.</strong></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There will be a number artists exhibiting their work in this exhbition with expressing where they are today or reflecting where they were when boulders was being hurled at them during the storm. I searched for visual imagery for my own story and decided I need to go back for a moment...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Fortunately my neighbor at that time, musician Ben Schneck of the Panorama Jazz Band was kind enough to return to the house and shot these images in Oct rough about 5 weeks out from the storm</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The images I am showing here were from my old place Uptown New Orleans roughly about 5 weeks after <em>Hurricane Katrina & Rita</em> and the levees breaking. I had a viscereal response.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If anything, it solidifies for me why I must do the<em> "Changed Waters: Thrown Rocks, Building Castles"</em> exhibition that will open Aug1 through Sept 6th,2015.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fortunately in one way, I am I was not here but actually had just been ask to extend my residency at Bennett College for Women in North Carolina. I was literally two weeks out from the storm preparing to return back to New Orleans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But for all intent and purposes I<strong> was. </strong>More on that later.</span><br />

You can see the bags caught in the trees outside my bay windows. Mind you this is two floors above ground. The murals were done by artist Michele Lambertthat I had commissioned in 2000.<br />

<pre><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>I’ve been reading a lot of messages on the message board about how the
opening of the studio affected you. Some of them brought tears to my eyes,
and what has stayed on my mind is that so many of us have stopped
dreaming. Listen to me, having no vision is death to your spirit. Why stop
dreaming, because one of them didn’t come true when you thought it
should? Why stop now? You’ve come so far. Listen to me, when I started
building this studio I wasn’t thinking about being the first black person
to do it. I wasn’t thinking about how many acres it is. I wasn’t thinking
about what it would feel like to own it. I was just following a dream. I
am no different from you. If you can make your mind line up with your
spirit man, and your dreams, then your dreams will become your reality. It
has to. It has no choice.
Now hear me here for a moment, if you will. I know that a lot of different
kinds of people from a lot of different backgrounds and faiths read this
email, but I want to share something with you, if you’ll indulge me for a
second. One of my favorite stories in the bible is of Joseph. Joseph had a
dream and his brothers wanted to kill him for dreaming. Sometimes when you
dream you will go through all kinds of hell to see it come to pass. I used
to tell people that I thought I could do plays and movies, and when I
would tell them they would get mad at me, talk about me and eventually try
to discourage me.
When I started to do plays in the beginning things started to fall apart
and these same people would laugh and say things like see, "I knew you
couldn’t do it." Where am I going with all of this you ask? Well right
now
in these times in our country there are lots of you who are wondering how
you’re going to pay the mortgage or the rent, or feed your families. And
there are lots of you who have lost your houses and jobs and the very same
people that brought over the house warming gifts are laughing at you
now. I have been there. I UNDERSTAND THE HURT, but I’m here to tell you
don’t let it get you down. You know what you say to
them? "SSSOOOOO!!!" </em></span></pre>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>I admire and respect people so much that have a dream and go for it. Don’t ever lose that GO FOR IT attitude because you will see your dreams come true as long as you don’t operate in fear. After you’ve done all to stand, stand some more. So what happens when you had this big dream and it seems to be falling apart? You seem to be losing it…what do you do? I look to this story of Joseph, and you really should read this bible story. It’s fascinating. It is so parallel to what is going on right now in this country. But this is what happened. When his dream seemed to be falling apart he did something awesome. The bible says Joseph dreamed another dream, and that is what I wanted to talk to you about today.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em> Dream another dream.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em> If one thing fails, try something else. Learn from your mistakes and try it again. So what if it got hard for a season, it will only be that way for a season. I cannot even begin to tell you all the times I failed, but every failure in your life will bring your dream closer to you. I know that sounds crazy but it’s so true. It’s okay to fail, now get up and keep dreaming. Don’t stop dreaming because you may have lost something. When I was doing plays for the first time, my dream was that 1,200 people would come and sell the place out. Only 30 people came. It crushed me. But I didn’t stop. I kept dreaming. I believed and dreamed all the way down to living in my car. But I kept dreaming, and when I was at my lowest I would talk to God. Sometimes all I could get out of my mouth was "Jesus help me," but that was a prayer I prayed a lot. And you know what else I did? I got out and encouraged myself. When I was homeless and sleeping in my car I would hustle up enough gas money and drive down to the nicest neighborhood in Atlanta where there were beautiful homes and I would dream and say "one day." On Sundays, I would go to open houses. I would go to the dealerships and test drive whatever kind of car I thought I wanted. Now I know these are material things but you would be surprised as to what it would do to help you see that all things in your dreams are possible. It’s hard to see a dream come to pass, but if you believe, it has no choice. Everywhere you look you see all of this talk about the economy and gloom and doom. Turn that mess off. Stop letting that get into your spirit. Tune it out, watch things that will encourage you. Listen to things that will uplift you. Now this part is to a certain group of people, not to everyone. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>This is for the people who have been feeling like they are being led by God to do something in these economic times that most people will think is crazy. The ones who may not have a dime but are feeling like something great is about to break free in their lives. You are so right if this is what you’re feeling. I have a suggestion if you’ll take my humble advice.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>HAVE NO FEAR! </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>ONLY BELIEVE! </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Give thanks for where you are. I know that may be hard to do, but there is a liberty in being thankful. And lastly, give, give, give. The reason I’ve fed thousands of families, paid rent and taxes for the elderly, dug wells in Africa and helped establish churches and built homes for poor families is because I know the power of giving. You reap what you sew. If you want favor from God, sew it into someone else. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>God bless you and know that this too shall pass, and you will be so much better when it does. Tyler Perry </em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I knew all the answers <br />To every question you'd ever asked, thought or imagined, <br />Would it change how things are now? <br />If I could stop time, speed it up or slow it down<br />Would it all be different somehow? <br />If I could give you the world on a plate, special powers<br />Or an amazing trait<br />Would life still remain mundane? <br />I wonder if you'd love me more, less or just the same.<br />If I knew, <br />I'd give it all to you</span>. <br />
