About this Event
In 2014, as a way of expanding our public programming, Mount Auburn became the first cemetery in the United States to establish an artist residency. The Artist-in-Residence program offers grants to local artists who are encouraged to create original, site-specific work that conveys a fresh and innovative perspective of Mount Auburn. In the last 10 years, we have worked with nearly 30 artists from a range of disciplines including film, music, theater, visual art, dance, photography, poetry, and mixed media.
Join us for a celebratory event featuring performances from former Artists-in-Residence Patrick Gabridge, Ira Klein, Jennifer Lin, Carolyn Oliver, Eden Rayz, Fatima Seck, Lonnie Stanton, Todd Thibaud, Liz Walker, and Debra Wise. In addition to live performances with storytelling, dance, and music, we will also have a pop-up gallery featuring the work of several of our visual and interdisciplinary artists including Resa Blatman, Madge Evers & Thierry Borcy, Billy Hickey, Zhonghe ‘Elena’ Li, Roberto Mighty, Simone Nemes, Ponnapa Prakkamakul, Jill Slosburg-Ackerman, Markel Uriu, and John Williams.
The performance will run for about 2.5 hours, which includes two 10-minute intermissions. The performance and gallery will take place in Story Chapel at Mount Auburn Cemetery.
Performance Dates: Sat, April 5 at 6:30pm & Sun, April 6 at 2:30pm
