8.4.2017 Took my Curating through Craft class to Seattle for the day where we visited the @winglukemuseum (thank you, Mikala Woodward and Rahul Gupta!), Seattle Art Fair @seattleartfair (thank you @elizabethleachgallery and @daniel.peabody for passes!), talked with @harrell_fletcher about @ksmoca, I got to catch up with these brilliant women Jennifer Scanlan @jenscan and Sarah Margolis Pineo @sarahmargolispineo, and thanks to Sarah met with @susansurface, who co-curated Out of Sight 2017. Cannot wait to debrief more with everyone. Incredible day with @ocac_edu Students Karen White, Nathan Wilson, Jessica Rehfield, Ariel Zaccheo and Alicia Loughnane. Got to hug my fabulous nieces, too!!! #upforgallery #michellegrabner #outofsightseattle #outofsightseattle2017 #ocac #seattleartfair #winglukemuseum #ksmoca

My first photo book was just published! It’s called “I Want Everyone to Know: The Black History Month Doors at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School” and documents artwork that was displayed on every door in the school during Black History Month this year. Each piece was so powerful and inspiring that I was compelled to document them all! These works transformed ordinary classroom doors into gallery walls and portals to rarely shared histories. They were created by over 300 artists who are students, teachers, staff, parents, and supporters of the school. The book includes interviews with many of the artists, including Ms. Melodie Adams, a first grade teacher who taught herself how to draw during the pandemic lockdown, her student Clio, the school principal, and many more. @KSMoCA published the book and it features an essay by co-founder Lisa Jarrett. Link in bio to see a few pages and to buy a copy! My extended interview with Ms. Adams shaped the soul of the book and she was instrumental in the entire school’s participation in making artwork for the doors. This Saturday, June 4, we will present a keynote interview together as part of Assembly, the annual conference organized by @psuartandsocialpractice. The event will be streamed live via Zoom and YouTube as well as open to the public in person. A book launch celebration will follow. Please join us! One of the best parts of making a book is working with other people to make it happen. I’m endlessly grateful to Ms. Adams, the teachers, students, and staff at the school, my own teachers @harrell_fletcher and @lisanicolejarrett, publisher @ksmoca, copy editors @jennifervanilla and Rita Glazer, my boyfriend @inter_flumina, and my classfriends @momobirdie, @cereza699, @michaelstevensonjr, @gilnotjill, and @zeroprocess.

This Contemporary Art Museum Is Run by Kids

Entrance to KSMoCA. Photo by Anke Schuettler. Courtesy of KSMoCA. At the KSMoCA International Art Fair this past August, the first clue that this was no ordinary art fair was the size of the booths. Painted and spackled by students from Martin Luther King Jr. School in Portland, Oregon, the stands were just slightly taller than they were. The fair presented artwork from 17 international…
