I'm excited to announce that I have been awarded the CUNY Graduated Center Library Visual Display Award for the Louis Armstrong House Museum Writers Residence that I have been happily running for the past 8 years. With this gracious award comes an exhibit of the beautiful and varied art that has been produced over the years by our residents.
Starting January 30 you will be able to view text, posters, 'zines, post cards, and other materials created out of residence on display at the Grad Center library through May.
Please take a moment if you find yourself in mid town to duck into the Grad Center and peruse the amazing work that continues to be developed in collaboration with the Armstrong House and the Queens College MFA in Creative Writing and Literary Translation.
