]]>UMBC's Joseph Beuys Tree Partnership 20th Anniversary Celebration and
Arboretum, by Robert Morris, Performed by UMBC's RUCKUS & Music Department,
A UMBC Livewire Event
On Saturday, October 23rd the campus will host UMBC's annual new music festival, Livewire. At 3:30 pm, RUCKUS, the new music ensemble-in-residence, will be joined by additional faculty and student performers to present a special performance of Robert Morris’s Arboretum.
Arboretum is a concert-length work designed as an immersive experience. Performers move around the Sculpture Park as they play, and audience members are encouraged to move as well, changing their perspective on the work over its duration. The composer describes this work as “slowly unfolding... the experience of this music is like watching sunsets, clouds passing, or sea changes.”
The event also marks the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Joseph Beuys Tree Partnership and will include remarks on the Partnership's history and presence at UMBC and in Baltimore.
Hot cider and a limited number of grass mats will be provided. Feel free to bring your own blanket, lawn chairs, and picnic to enjoy among the crunch of the fall leaves. This event is free and open to the public.
Find maps, directions, and learn more at cadvc.umbc.edu/beuys.
This event is curated by Sandra Abbott and Daniel Pesca and presented through a partnership between UMBC’s Music Department, Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture, and the Joseph Beuys Tree Partnership. The Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park is supported in part through the generosity of Nature Sacred (naturesacred.org). CADVC’s programs are supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council and Baltimore County Commission on Arts and Sciences.

]]>OCA Mocha is accepting submission of mixed-media art that centers around the past and present for the upcoming October ‘Mixed Memories’ Exhibition. Anything that shares memories and stories that are of personal significance to the artist is acceptable.
Mixedmedia art allows us to explore different mediums while also unifying them. It gives us a chance to reshape traditional lenses that separate art. Art has always been a way to create new and old in the same space while also giving introspection into our lives and experiences. Right now as we come into a new world, with new social change, new guidelines in our day to day lives and new minds there is a heightened importance in being aware of the journey we take, the challenges we face along the way and the choices we make.
We are all products of our past and present, who we are today could not be if it were not for our past selves. New and old don’t exist as two opposites but as parts of a whole experience. Art imitates life and our lives happen in different phases and looks all in one - mixed media art imitates that same mix that exists in life.
At OCA Mocha, we’re invested in sharing different stories and perspectives from the community. After this past year’s multitudes of conflict, we’d like to give space for people to reflect back on times past and look forward together to our collective futures. OCA Mocha is looking for works that show the new and old, whether it be a recreation of memories or a projection into the future, we want to share the timeline that has shaped you.
Artists are invited to submit artwork— of any hangable medium— that uses a mix of mediums. All artists, regardless of location or experience, are encouraged to submit their best work.

Information about each artwork: title, FRAMED dimensions, medium, date created, shortdescription (if applicable)
Please submit above to OCA Mocha’s Art coordinator, Alexis Tyson, at ltyson132@gmail.com with “Mixed Memories” as the subject line or fill out this form.
Eligibility: The call is open to all artists. All accepted work will be displayed online through OCA Mocha’s website and Instagram. All images of artwork will be given by the artist.
Image Use/Copyright: OCA Mocha reserves the right to photograph and promote all artwork accepted for this exhibition across media, including printed materials, gallery website, and social media pages. All credit will be given to the artists.
Mission: OCA Mocha is a shared, multi-purpose space that fosters ongoing engagement between UMBC and its neighboring communities and promotes economic development in southwestern Baltimore County. By fostering social opportunities and economic development, OCA Mocha will be a catalyst to create genuine symbiotic relationships between UMBC and its surrounding communities. The Gallery at OCA Mocha is dedicated to promoting and showcasing the creative efforts of UMBC and the surrounding community in its mission to unite people through artistic expression.Our names are Drs. John Borrero, Mirela Cengher, and Adithyan Rajaraman. We are three Professors at UMBC who conduct research in behavior analysis, a branch of psychology in the human services field. We are developing a collaborative research laboratory and are looking for a logo that can be featured prominently in our physical lab space, as well as on our website and related materials and documents. Our lab is called the Center of Learning, Language, and Behavior (CoLLAB). At CoLLAB, we will work with children with intellectual, developmental, and emotional disabilities (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, intermittent explosive disorder) and their families. Our research is collectively focused on teaching individuals communication skills, social skills, and coping skills. Our group conducts participatory therapy, which means that we involve the entire family in developing teaching programs for the participating child. We don't view disabilities as something that families suffer from; rather, we aim to empower individuals and their families with skills and tools that will help them be successful.
We would like the logo to feature “CoLLAB” and to capture these values while also conveying a collaborative, inclusive, and diverse learning environment. The logo should be accessible and attractive to children, adults, and members of the UMBC community. Because we will use the logo across modalities (e.g., on a website, printed on the door of the Lab), we are looking for someone with expertise in media optimization.
Prerequisites: We are looking for students who can work independently, have declared graphic design as their major (BA or BFA), and have completed ART 334, 336, and 337.
If you are interested in designing our logo, please reach out to Dr. Adithyan Rajaraman at dithuraj@umbc.edu. We would love to see some samples of your past work and share more about our specific preferences and requirements.
Sincerely,
Drs. John Borrero, Mirela Cengher, and Adithyan Rajaraman
