Deliciously Happy Press Release Is Out About Town!
For Immediate Release
Collaboration takes new form as Belmont graduate student teams up with Nashville-area schools for the Deliciously Happy gallery show at Belmont University.
NASHVILLE, February 7, 2012 – Deliciously Happy features partnerships with students from three Nashville-area schools: the University School of Nashville, Bordeaux Elementary, and Lead Academy. In tandem with sculpture students from Belmont University, students from each school will construct stories and create coordinating performance paraphernalia as part of an installation being featured at Belmont University.
Spearheading the project is local artist and Belmont Master of Arts in Teaching graduate student, Lindsey Bailey, who organized a Kickstarter campaign for the project in November 2011. Contributions helped to fund 12 of 24 workshops, a documentary film crew, and transportation for the students to attend the gallery opening so they can see their work and speak with the people attending the opening. A portion of the contributions will also help to publish a book, including all of the lesson plans, example artwork, and documentation; and the student, educator, and community responses to the projects. This book will be made available to schools and organizations so that more youth can participate in performance-based workshops.
