406. Quinn Antoinio Briceño: Artist 13:03

11 weeks ago13:03

13:03

Quinn Antonio Briceño, a Nicaraguan-American artist in St. Louis, earned his bachelor's degree in fine art from the San Francisco Art Institute (2017) and a master's degree from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art (2022). Notable achievements include winning the Ann Metzger National Biennial in 2019 and being a finalist for the AXA Art Prize in 2021. Featured in publications such as All the Art, Friend of the Artist (Issue 10), St. Louis Magazine, Design St. Louis, and New American Paintings (No. 155, 165, 167), Briceño's works grace private collections nationwide. ------ Briceño’s art, a reflection of dualities shaped by two countries, languages, and cultures, explores the perpetual pressure to choose between them. Consciously integrating Americana with Latinx influences, Briceño constructs a visual language bridging cultural gaps. His creations carve a unique space, offering solace to those burdened by societal expectations, and through painting and collage, he weaves a tapestry celebrating identity. Briceño's work is a dual exploration, sharing his personal struggle and narrating a journey towards acceptance, inclusion, and empowerment for the marginalized and forgotten. -----…

Central Print was founded in 2014, by Eric Woods, as an extension of the programs, workshops, and community outreach that were being hosted at his for-profit letterpress studio, The Firecracker Press. Along with the design and printing of posters, stationery, and paper goods, The Firecracker Press was hosting tours, working with community organizations, and offering classes after-hours. As these not-necessarily-profitable aspects of a for-profit business gained popularity it became clear that dedicated time and space were needed to effectively address the growing interest in letterpress printing. ----- A space was secured in Old North St. Louis (formerly a Sobel’s department store) and the work of building Central Print’s headquarters began. An outline for the acquisition of new presses quickly grew and within a few months Central Print became print-ready. Construction began to accommodate printing classes, facilities were installed for an events venue, and storage/restoration areas were built for incoming equipment. The far-end of the space was reserved as an extension for The Firecracker Press, a temporary second location serving as support, and on July 1, 2014 Central Print officially opened its doors. ----- To fully commit to education and outreach Marie Oberkirsch, was brought in as Central Print’s first director. She continues to manage and develop the organization as it changes and grows. ----…

12:20

Dr. Frances Levine has had a varied career, from teaching to heading up various major museums, writing books. Now, she has written "Crossings: Women on the Santa Fe Trail," after many years of passionate research. Through diaries, letters, and firsthand accounts, Levine seeks to understand the experiences of women who journeyed from St. Louis to Santa Fe, as well as some who made an eastward crossing. Crossings focuses on women who traveled during the most crucial period of Santa Fe Trail trade from the early 1820s to the later 1870s, ending as railroads made cross-continental movement a safer and more leisurely experience for travelers. Several of the women made multiple crossings, adding to the depth of their observations of the changing country and dispelling the myth of women in this period as averse to the risks of trail life.…
