LMCC Alumni awarded 2020 Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants & other news
LMCC artists and alumni are presenting extraordinary performances, exhibition openings, and sold out theater experiences! See below for a round up of some of upcoming highlights:
Damien Davis – COLLAPSE: Black Wall Street Study at Weeksville Heritage Center
Damien Davis’ (Workspace 2016-2017) practice explores historical representations of blackness by seeking to unpack the visual language of various cultures and question how these societies code/decode representations of race through craft, design and digital modes of production. His new art series ignites the conversation surrounding currency, community and the effects of hyper visibility for the black body.
Ronny Quevedo – Metallica with LaKela Brown and ektor garcia at Foxy Production
Stacy Fisher – Unearth at SARDINE

Ezra Wube – Project Junction at The Africa Center
In this newly commissioned mixed media installation, Ezra Wube (Workspace 2015-2016, River To River 2019) constructs a site-specific project that explores food as an expression of collective identity in its ever evolving state. The installation incorporates animation, painting, prints, and objects.
