She also currently has artwork in two shows in Rhode Island. Modern Archaeolgy, at T.F. Green's Greenspace Gallery, will be on view until May 1st. Future Traditions: A Furniture & Textile Show, at the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative Gallery, will be on view until March 3rd.
And last but not least, Nina's looking for a subletter this Spring! Shoot her an email at ninaruelle@gmail.com. Her room and studio could be yours, as soon as March 1st!
Erina has been spending the last 2 months at DP making shirts and prints to raise donations for Phoenix House and Gearing Up (PHL), two non-profit organizations that provide rehabilitation programs as well as educational resources to those afflicted by drug addiction. At the end of the project, $500 was donated to Phoenix House and $1000 was donated to Gearing Up.On March 1st, she will be relocating to Oakland, CA to give the west coast a shot. She is bummed out the wazoo to leave because DP is incredible. SO! E-mail Nina (ninaruelle@gmail.com) to have the spring time of your life (room + studio available March 1st) !!XANDER MARRO
