Events

We will be hosting a general body meeting for new and existing members of GPHA to discuss the events we are hosting for the rest of the year and anticipated events for the spring semester.

With the invasion of digital media, taking the time to write a letter on a piece of paper has become obsolete, or at least a forgotten craft! Even more so if that letter has been typed with a manual typewriter. RZLBD Letters is an ongoing project exploring the capacity of the letter as a medium and the manual typewriter as an instrument beyond their common or utilitarian purpose. Celebrate the release of the book RZLBD Letters with RIT Press and the author, RZLBD (Reza Aliabadi), Founder & Principal, Atelier RZLBD, and Vignelli Center Inaugural Designer in Residence.

Join us for in-person gathering, chanting, and worship every Monday from 5-6 p.m. in Jones Memorial Chapel.

Enjoy a presentation by Rochester illustrator and sculptor Robert Rogalski, during which he will discuss his influences, process, and body of work. The talk is set for 5-6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, in Booth Hall, room 3471.

Please join RIT’s interior design and industrial design programs for a lecture by Kathryn Walter. Inspired by her family’s rich history in the felt industry, Walter founded FELT, her own company and label, in 2000. Since then, she has dedicated her career to working almost exclusively with manufactured felts through commissions, exhibitions, and a product line.

Weekly online services and Dharma talks are offered on Monday evenings from 6:30-7:30 p.m. by Gekkaji Buddhist Temple. Please email ryumongrohman@gmail.com for a Zoom link.

Join the Idunno Zen Buddhist Community for meditation and discussion on Mondays at 7 p.m. Please contact idunnozen@gmail.com for the Zoom link.

The exhibition Crafting Democracy: Fiber Arts and Activism debuted in Rochester, New York – home to Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass – along with an eponymous catalogue (RIT Press, 2019). Works by the 30 artists explored how handwork probes the vulnerabilities of citizenship status, while also working toward positive social change. Over the following two years, the exhibit traveled to four additional venues in the Northeast U.S., realizing opportunities for community, conversation, and critique.

For more than five decades, Bill and Jean Stephens have been partners in life and in Art. Their artwork and artistic processes have continued to evolve and expand. The style of Jean and Bills’ work differs widely, yet the work is highly influenced by the natural world around them. They met in the RIT Printmaking Studio in 1972, and both later earned their degrees in the RIT MST Arts Education Program. Continuum is their first exhibition together.
