ART! Block Island Airport Gallery features work of Annabel Manning & call for fall artists
The gallery at the Block Island Airport, which is a partnership between the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA) and the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC), announced the opening of its late summer exhibit featuring works by Middletown’s Annabel Manning. The exhibition runs through late-September.
Manning is a Middletown visual artist and educator currently teaching at the Newport Art Museum. She is working on a series of digital paintings inspired by her relocation to the seaside. Her process involves paintings, photographs, collages, and installations. In New York City and Charlotte, Manning worked as a social practice artist with immigrants, incarcerated individuals, and other underrepresented communities with whom she developed art and literacy programs.
She has shown her art individually and collectively in New York City, Durham, Charlotte, San Francisco and Boston, plus in England and Germany. Manning was born and raised in Mexico, Peru and Argentina. She received a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College, a B.F.A. in painting and video from Massachusetts College of Art, and an M.F.A, in Experimental and Documentary Art from Duke University. https://annabelmanning1.myportfolio.com/
