In nightly TV surfing after a long day in the studio, I often come across amusing, strange and appalling shows that spur creativity for new artwork. This exhibition is a series of small sculptural objects, many figurative, inspired by the themes found in "Say Yes to the Dress", "Botched", and

Health Equity Zones
Registration Discounts Available for CityMatCH Conference
This fall, CityMatCH and more than 800 leaders in urban maternal and child health will make their way to Providence for the 2019 CityMatCH Maternal and Child Health Leadership Conference on September 23-25, 2019.
Instead of offering a separate Rhode Island Health Equity Summit this year, we are teaming up with CityMatCH to showcase how Rhode Island communities are prioritizing health equity to build healthy, resilient, and just communities as a part of this conference.
As part of this partnership, we are able to waive a portion of the registration fee on a first-come, first-served basis for a limited number of Rhode Island registrants who might not be able to attend otherwise. The discounted registration fee will be $50 for non-students and $25 for students.
To apply for the discount,
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER as soon as possible and select "Yes" to the following question on the registration form: "Did you attend the 2018 Rhode Island Health Equity Summit, and/or are you a Rhode Island resident?" You will be prompted to select the "Pay Later" option. To avoid additional fees, you must select this option. A CityMatCH Representative will be in contact within the next 30 days with details on how to proceed. Selecting this option does not necessarily guarantee you will receive the discount, but you will be contacted either way about next steps.
If you have questions about the registration process, please contact citymch@unmc.edu. We hope to see you in September!
