Art From America's Camp: Rebuilding Lives After 9/11

Traci Molloy
Thursday, April 4, 2013, Time: 4:15 pm

Founded in 2002, America's Camp (AC) was a one-week summer camp offered free of charge to children who lost a parent or sibling as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and for children or siblings of firefighters and law enforcement officers lost in the line of duty at any time. It was created to provide a free, high quality, fun and supportive summer camp experience for the children. 2011 was the last summer session for AC. The children of America’s Camp teamed together with Artist in Residence, Traci Molloy, each year for 5 consecutive years, to produce the finished art pieces represented in this exhibit. The artworks were created from 2003-2007. The art projects empowered the children to channel their emotions and grief into profound, collective expressions of art. Approximately 500 different children helped to create the five collaborative art pieces. The exhibition is on view at the Prindle Institute for Ethics and Green Center for Performing Arts from February 22 - April 15, 2013.

The Tale of Genji, written over 1,000 years ago by the Japanese court lady Murasaki Shikibu, has greatly influenced Japanese culture, seen in paintings, prints, short stories, novels, noh plays, kabuki performances, operas, movies, symphonies, manga and anime. Featured in this exhibition will be a rich array of woodblock prints by many of Japan's leading artists, drawn from the Scripps College collection and the personal collection of Jack and Paulette Lantz. The exhibition is accompanied by an elaborately illustrated book, edited by Dr. Andreas Marks and published by Hotei Publishing. The exhibition is organized by Dr. Bruce Coats, Professor of Art History and Humanities, in conjunction with two classes on Japanese arts. The book is funded in part by the Blakemore Foundation, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, Union Bank, and the Aoki Endowment for Japanese Arts and Cultures.
