advantage of so much at the Arts Center — all of the wonderful children’s programming and other performances and events — through our years in Lawrence. But in particular, I’d like to thank you for the profoundly moving experience of Or, The Whale. I was able to see it in person, and it was even more amazing than I expected. The gallery talk with Beth Schultz and Jos Sances was incredible. What a gift to Lawrence.” – P. Naughtin, LAC supporter

Lawrence Arts Center Preschool & Kindergarten Exhibition
April 15 - May 14
The Linda Reimond Preschool and Kelly Galloway Kindergarten Exhibition features works from preschool students at the Lawrence Arts Center. Illuminating the roots of imagination through fearless creativity, this exhibit offers a rare and stirring glimpse of the origin of ingenuity and inspiration. Arts Center early childhood students have the opportunity to work with professional artists, actors, dancers, and musicians, attend performances, and create in the studios. Creative confidence and innovative skills are clear in the work of these very young students.
Poetry Despite/Music Despite Eternal War Requiem Aaron Hughes
June 4 – July 17
On the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Authorization for Use of Military Force, Aaron Hughes created a multi-media exhibit that explores our current state of endless war and historical antecedents. Aaron Hughes is an artist, curator, organizer, teacher, anti-war activist, and Iraq War veteran living in Chicago. He works collaboratively in diverse spaces and media to create meaning out of personal and collective trauma, deconstruct and transform systems of oppression, and seek liberation. Working through an interdisciplinary practice rooted in drawing and printmaking, Hughes develops projects that deconstruct militarism and related institutions of dehumanization. These projects often utilize popular research strategies, experiment with forms of direct democracy, and operate in solidarity with the people most impacted by structural violence.

Artists in Residence IIn 2019, following an internationally competitive process, the Lawrence Arts Center selected Ashlyn Pope as our Ceramics Artist-in-Residence and Dayon Royster as our Printmaking Artist-in-Residence. Traditionally a one-year appointment, both Pope and Royster agreed to continue their residencies as the global pandemic stopped everything in its tracks and threw artists around the world into a state of suspended animation. Our artists in residence were fundamental in helping us maintain our mission during the past year to stay creative and continue providing access to the arts. During more traditional residencies at the Arts Center, artists develop new bodies of work, collaborate in our studios, teach, and take part in community driven projects. This year our artists in residence faced new challenges as they adapted their normal roles and proceeded in new, innovative ways. Their contributions were immeasurable. We are grateful for their dedication, and so glad we were able to spend an extra year with them.

Witnessing Dandelions
Dayon Royster’s pfashən-uhble naan-sints series uses phonetics to playfully focus on serious topics including accessibility, bias, context, information, research, rules and truth. This second installment touches on those same themes and adds moral superiority, the culpability of society at large, and the pros and cons of individuality. Royster’s prints feature phonetic expressions intended to slow the reader down and ask them to “sit with what they’re reading or interacting with until they fully understand it.” His work is based in research into blind attachment to ideologies, hoax articles and confirmation bias. Royster uses his pieces to pique curiosity in the reader, “not allowing for total comfort or confidence that they’ve gotten to the bottom of it.”
Ashlyn Pope’s work is a reflection not only of her own experience, but also an expression of her history. Pope has spent her time in residency at the Arts Center exploring themes of her ancestry and symbolism, and how to relay that information through her ceramics. Working in both handbuilding and throwing, Pope uses her art to champion diversity through a body of work that discusses her own Gullah history, as well as the past and present of the Black community. While Pope works in a variety of mediums, she truly enjoys the challenges of working in clay, “having to take the time to become acquainted and learn to work together with the clay, and become a partner in its formation.”
Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Dayon Royster is currently dividing his time between the Lawrence Arts Center and teaching printmaking at the University of Iowa. Royster received his BFA in Printmaking from East Carolina University and an MFA in Printmaking from the University of Iowa. While at ECU, he embarked on his first foray into printmaking with no idea of the path down which it would send him. Printmaking continues to captivate him because of the creative problem solving that is involved with the process; he returns day after day to try his hand at pulling a successful print. Royster’s current work conjures universal themes of accessibility, curiosity, empowerment, self-doubt, identity, suppression, symbolism, and the “other.”
lawrenceartscenter.org
Ashlyn Pope is an African American sculptor of Gullah descent. In January 2021, Pope was named Visiting Artist and Lecturer at the Kansas City Art Institute. She holds a BFA in Ceramics and Printmaking from Kennesaw State University. She graduated with her MFA in Ceramics from Pennsylvania State University and has served on the board for the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts as a Student Director at Large. Pope mainly works with ceramics and textiles to create work rooted in personal experiences as a survivor of abuse living in a female Black body. Pope uses her work to address how bound or boundless we are.

Then we’ll make some art about and with environmentally safe practices. With natural paints, recyclable sculptures, positive postering, and more, we will help spread the word of how important and beautiful our earth is.

Bespoke buttons, tricks for your kicks, a booty of jewelry... you know we’ll stay busy crafting and creating. We’ll explore STEM concepts like geometry, patterning, and engineering, and then apply them to a multitude of both 2D and 3D art projects. We’ll vogue up the studios and our steez.
Come help us build a community fit for our fourlegged friends! From bow tie boutiques to biscuit bakeries, hamster houses to parrot parks, we will give cat cafes a whole new meaning in this Box City for pets! On the last day of camp, students can bring stuffed animals to act out scenarios in this bustling animal metropolis installation.
Imagine the cutest thing you can possibly think of. Now multiply that by 100! Kawaii literally translates to “cute things,” and that’s what this camp is all about. Students will be working with various materials including felt, watercolor, washi tape, air dry clay, and more to create 2D and 3D artworks inspired by Japanese Kawaii culture. Pikachu and Hello Kitty better step aside, because Kawaii kids are in camp!

Tonja Torgerson // June 2021
Succumb
Ruben Castillo // July 2021
One Week from Spring
Reflections on vulnerability, death, and the impermanence of the body. Torgerson uses prints, cut paper, and collage to create a fallen Garden of Eden in which life-size figures grapple with the recognition of their mortality. These works provide an intimate pause in which to consider the frailty of the body; allowing us to dwell on uncomfortable truths.
One Week from Spring explores memory, records, observation, and narratives around what author Kathleen Stewart calls “ordinary affects” through the production of a new suite of intaglio prints and drawings. The imagery will circulate around softness and domestic intimacy to produce a space addressing collective desire and connection.
Tonja Torgerson is an artist, printmaking and professor currenting working at Indiana University. Torgerson received her BFA from the University of Minnesota and an MFA in Printmaking at Syracuse University. Her artwork is regularly exhibited nationally and internationally; and is included in private and museum collections, including the Weisman Art Museum and the Minnesota Museum of American Art. Her work deals with illness, death, and the impermanent nature of the body.
Ruben Bryan Castillo is a visual artist and educator born in Dallas and currently working in Kansas City, MO. His work investigates themes of intimacy, queerness, place, and the body using a range of media including print, drawing, sculpture/installation, and video. He currently teaches printmaking and drawing at the Kansas City Art Institute and Johnson County Community College.
