Artist Jacinda Russell to be on display at USI New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art

0

The University of Southern Indiana’s New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art (NHGCA) is proud to present Metaphorical Antipodes: Stories of Ice, featuring photography and sculpture works by Jacinda Russell.

Metaphorical Antipodes: Stories of Ice runs from June 10 through August 5, opening with a reception from 4-6 p.m. June 10, in conjunction with New Harmony’s Second Saturday. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Russell combines three bodies of work that document time, environments and loss in Metaphorical Antipodes: Stories of Ice. Through photography and sculpture, each series records a different element of the rapidly changing landscape in the polar regions. Utilizing precarious materials and embracing moments of denied access, Russell’s process reflects both the beauty of the planet and the ever-present feeling of powerlessness to protect it.

Russell is a conceptual artist who seeks the edges, the ends of the line and the blue in between. She works primarily in the mediums of photography, sculpture, installation and bookmaking. Her artwork has been exhibited at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center in Atlanta, Georgia; the Texas Gallery and the Houston Center for Photography, both in Houston, Texas; and the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica.

She is the recipient of the 2019 and 2022 DeHaan Artist of Distinction Award from the Arts Council of Indianapolis and the Photographic Arts Council\Los Angeles Research Fellowship at the Center for Creative Photography. Born in Idaho, she received a bachelor’s degree in studio art from Boise State University and a master’s degree from the University of Arizona. Currently, she lives in Indianapolis and works as an Associate Professor of Art at Ball State University.

New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art at USI promotes discourse about, and access to, contemporary art in the southern Indiana region. New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is a proud outreach partner of the University of Southern Indiana.

IAC will now complete a similar evaluation of the Arts Project Support program

0

In 2022, the IAC took the critical step of looking deeply at our programs, services, and operations, starting with an evaluation of the Arts Organization Support grant program. Through a series of externally led public input sessions, surveys, and a thorough review of the program and its outcomes, recommendations were made and implemented to make Arts Organization Support a more equitable program that best serves the state and the creative sector.  Read more about the process to review the Arts Organization Support Program.  

Following this review, the IAC will now complete a similar evaluation of the Arts Project Support program. Arts Project Support (APS) grants provide funding to Indiana 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations and public entities for a specific art project or art activity(ies). Some examples of eligible projects include a one-time art event, a single performance, an exhibition, an educational workshop, or a series of related arts activities such as art classes or training sessions that are open to the public. 

The IAC has enlisted the support of external consultants Ruby Lopez Harper and Sara Peterson to guide this process and provide recommendations for strengthening the impact of the program on applicants, the agency, and the State of Indiana.  

If you are interested in sharing your perspectives on the APS program and the future of project support for arts and creativity, there are four upcoming opportunities for you to participate. You do not need to be a past or current grantee or applicant, though past and current grantees and applicants are encouraged to participate.  Each of the following virtual input sessions will last 90 minutes and will be facilitated by the consultant team.  

Registration is limited, so be sure to register to participate.

If you have questions about the input sessions, please connect with Sara Peterson at peterson@sarapetersonconsulting.com

Thank you for your support as we strive to adapt tobetter support arts project activity across the state.

Intimidation w/Deadly Weapon Arrest 28 E Missouri St.

1

 On June 6th, just after 8:30 p.m., Evansville Police Officers were dispatched to 28 E Missouri St. in reference to a male suspect who drove past a residence and pointed a handgun at the victim and the victim’s juvenile child. The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Jordan Burris, also made threats to the victim. 

Once officers took the report and left the area, about 30 minutes later, Burris drove back by the victim’s residence. Officers responded back to the area, but could not locate Burris at that time. Officers staged in the area and around 10:35 p.m., Officers witnessed Burris drive by the victim’s residence again. 

Officers initiated a traffic stop and Burris was taken into custody. A handgun magazine was located inside the vehicle. There was a picture of Burris holding two different firearms on his phone’s lock screen. 

Burris was arrested and transported to the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center. He was charged with Pointing a Firearm, Intimidation with a Deadly Weapon, and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon 

Shots Fired Incident/Arrest 100 NW Riverside Dr.

0

 On June 6th, around 10:25 p.m., Evansville Police Officers were dispatched to Dress Plaza (100 NW Riverside Dr.) in reference to a male who fired a handgun. The witness gave a good description of the male suspect and vehicle that he was in. Officers responding to the run observed the vehicle leaving the scene and initiated a traffic stop at Lloyd/Main St. 

Once the vehicle was stopped, officers gave verbal commands to the three occupants inside the vehicle. The driver and one of the passengers cooperated with officers and listened to their commands. The back passenger, identified as 24-year-old Khalil Titington, did not cooperate. Titington was extremely uncooperative with officers and matched the description of the shooting suspect. Officers gave Titington multiple commands and he refused to listen. Titington even pulled away from officers when they were trying to take him into custody. Eventually, officers were able to take Titington into custody without further incident. 

Officers located a handgun in the area of the vehicle where Titington had been sitting. It was determined that Titington had been in a verbal argument with the other passenger inside the vehicle and he was the one who had fired the handgun. Luckily, no one was injured. Titington had been consuming alcoholic beverages and was intoxicated. 

Titington was arrested and transported to the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center. He was charged with Possession of a Firearm by a Serious Violent Felon, Criminal Recklessness with a Deadly Weapon, Resisting Law Enforcement, Public Intoxication, and Disorderly Conduct. Titington also had an active extradition warrant for Aggravated Assault with a Handgun out of Tennessee.Â
