Carol Jacobsen's Gallery Reception "Women Of Color And Accomplishment" on Thursday, August 31st @ 6:00 PM!

Submitted by Omid Indeed on Fri, 08/25/2023 - 1:55pm

On Thursday, August 31, at 6;00 PM, there will be the closing reception for the 'Doing the Right Thing' art exhibit by Carol Jacobsen. At 7:00 PM, Carol will give an artist talk: From Art Therapy to Social Justice Art.

'Doing the Right Thing' showcases 19 of the 100 portraits in the 'Women of Color and Accomplishment' series. This series was inspired by the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests. In processing her first response of anger and frustration at the racism still evident in this country, Carol chose to focus her energy on making a visual reminder of the power of individuals to make a difference. She chose portraiture to honor the extraordinary African American women who have overcome obstacles of race and gender to achieve their dreams. Most of these women have been ignored by history books. These portraits were made to help people see beyond skin color to instead see the character of the person.

Location: Community Media Center of Marin
Address: 819 A Street, San Rafael, CA 94901

Congratulations, Pirates!

The Sir Francis Drake High School Class of 2020 isn't letting the COVID-19 pandemic ruin their graduation plans. Seniors will receive their diplomas in an innovative "Drive Through" ceremony at the school on Friday, June 12 from 3:00-6:00 PM

Respecting social distancing protocol, Principal Liz Seabury, with Assistant Principals Chad Stewart and Nate Severin, will pass out diplomas to graduates, who will demonstrate their Drake Pride as they step out of their cars dressed in green caps & gowns.

Drake's ComAcad students will crew the production under the supervision of instructors John MacLeod (Director at XRLibraries and Marinovation Learning Center) and Omid Shamsapour (Director of Education & Production at the Community Media Center of Marin). The ComAcad team will then be assigned a Summer project to edit the live footage and create a final graduation piece later in the year. Stay tuned!
