NATIONAL SECURITY IS OUR PRIORITY!
Threat is a weapon employed by the state to ignite fear in order to justify violence, which is only effective in exacerbating aggression, tension and war. This exhibition looks at power in the context of national protectionism, and the role of patriotism and militarism, exploring the use of these phenomena in the political context. It probes the level of domination and violence that patriotism has caused, and possibilities to resist such a phenomenon when we are facing the rise of political extremism globally.

Artist-in-Business Training
As artists, performers, or craftspeople, we have learned how to make a stellar body of work, but few of us are making a living, or the kind of money we want from our art. Thanks to support from Springfield Cultural Partnership, you have the opportunity to devote one day to learn how to make a greater percentage of your living (or expand your income!) from your art. The UMass Amherst Arts Extension Service’s artist-trainers will be offering the 2019 Artist-in-Business Training at UMass Springfield as part of AES’ Arts Entrepreneurship Initiative.
Registration is required.. Register by Friday, April 19th. $15 registration fee includes continental breakfast, lunch, and training materials. Space is limited. Priority given to Springfield and Indian Orchard area artists.
