The Scarab Club invites submissions for its annual Gilda Snowden Memorial Exhibition, named for the late Detroit artist and educator. It is an unthemed, all-media exhibition, open to all artists 18 or older. The purpose of the Gilda Snowden Memorial Exhibition is to recognize the diversity and achievement of artists whose work shows creativity of concept, excellence of design, and expertise of media; to display these works to regional audiences, and to be an educational opportunity for students.
I am an artist concentrating on the historical use of color theory as a powerful tool for social transformation. Detroit artist born, raised, and educated. My artistic career has allowed me to be a TEDx Fellow and write a dissertation titled “Studio Practice of Black Women Artists and Their Use of Color Theory as a Catalyst for Social Change.” I hold a PhD in Ethical and Creative Leadership from Union Institute and University, OH, an MA in painting from Wayne State University, and a BFA from the College for Creative Studies. My art is in several collections, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan, Huntington Place Convention Center, Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, Detroit Police Department Headquarters, Comerica Park, Detroit Children’s Museum, and Detroit Public Schools.
