Migiwa Orimo of Yellow Springs, Ohio, is an Ohio Arts Council Artist-in-Residence at Heights Arts Studio the month of June. We will turn over studio and gallery space to her for her own work, and she will also teach classes and workshops.

Installation by Migiwa Orimo and the Heights Arts Summer Collective
Reception Friday, June 29, 6 to 9 p.m.
through July 14Migiwa Orimo of Yellow Springs, Ohio, is an Ohio Arts Council Artist-in-Residence at Heights Arts Studio in June, exploring different aspects of our community as elements of art. For the project, Heights Arts convened an artists' collective that includes high school and college students and adults from a wide array of professions. Projects include:
I am what I do with my hands explores the merchants on Lee road whose hands create, mend and imagine. These people usually take on the role of the supporters of art in the community by way of attending, viewing, buying and donating. We turned the notion around and recognized them as inspirations for the creative process in our daily life.
Family Portrait, or is it? Random library patrons were invited to have their portraits taken together to explore the concept of family.
This is where . . . A large hand-traced map of zoning parcels traveled to the library branches, where people put red dots on places that had meaning for them. Their descriptions of what happened at these places were collected and will be shared anonymously at the installation. Related artistic creations further explore this idea.
One such project is a flickr photo set (works best in slideshow mode).
Migiwa says, One thing I am hoping to achieve is, at the end, the boundary of each project gets blurred and viewers will experience the Gestalt of community. Each project was set up for practical reason--to give us entry doors and from them smaller nodes get developed.
The residency culminates in an installation opening June 29 that shares the collective's creations. Come meet Migiwa Orimo and members of the artists' collective at the reception. See a community through the lens of art, and art through the lens of a community.
The residency is in support of Person, Place and Thing, a six-month exploration at the Heights Arts Studio of how the connection between a person and a place inspires the creation of art object.

Explore the world of unique artist books using your own memories and life experiences combined with raw materials gleaned from exploration of the library under the guidance of Kate Kern, a Cincinnati visual artist who creates artist books and installations. She will be in residence at Heights Arts Studio the month of October. Kate has extensive experience working with people of all abilities throughout Ohio, sharing her knowledge and sensibility to enable participants to express their personal interests individually and collectively. Participants will create their own artists books and contribute to a collective installation. No experience necessary – only curiosity and willingness to be part of the project. The programs are free of charge thanks to an Ohio Arts Council Artist-in-Residency grant. Materials are provided, but participants may be asked to bring in some supplies as needed. All workshops are at Heights Arts Studio unless otherwise noted. Individual and collective results of the residency will be shared at Heights Arts Studio through the end of the year as part of Heights Arts exploration of The Joy of Text (see inside). How do I become involved? There are several ways to be part of the project. There will be morning and evening workshops for adults, after school workshops for teens, after school workshops for teachers, and drop in projects. Programs are free but registration is required.
