Angelina Addison '28, Art major, is feeling bolder about her work, which will be on display in the Community Arts of Elmira beginning November 1.
The reason?
This is the second year Addison has participated in The Fusion Arts Collective, which is presented by the Community Arts of Elmira and The Studio at Corning Museum of Glass. The free, ten-week arts education opportunity is for Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color. Participants take photos in the community and then recreate the image using fused glass. The program builds on themes of connection, community, cityscape, and identity.
“Now in my second year, I've gained a better understanding of what to do,” explained Addison. “I branched out this time and did different techniques, such as using the grinder tool to get more organic shapes for my pieces. And I did a riskier design.”
Each year, the Fusion Arts Collective invites eight students to photograph the Elmira urban landscape. Then, The Studio staff provides instructions and aids the students as they transform their photos into lighted glass panels. Participants also take a guided tour at the Corning Museum of Glass that focuses on fused glass and works created by members of the Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities. Students also have the opportunity to discover the component parts of staging an exhibition.
“What I enjoy about this program is how comfortable I am with my peers and the interconnectedness that we have built,” shared Addison. “I also enjoy the stress relief I feel while doing my work. I get into a meditative headspace.”
To see Addison’s work, you can attend an opening celebration from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., November 1, in The Community Arts Gallery at the Community Arts of Elmira. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., the participating artists will share information about their work and experiences. The free exhibition will be on display in the Gallery from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays through February.
Works developed in previous Fusion Arts Collective classes will also be on display. These include works from Hollis Berry ’25, who participated in the course in 2022, and EC alumni Marc Artuz '24 and Kenta Okumura ’22, who participated in 2021.
Addison said she hopes those who see her panel will “feel the emotions of support, understanding, and growth that I have felt from my friends, family, and those I've met along the way. I hope that they can incorporate those motives into their own lives and learn that having positive reinforcements in life is a great motivator for their passions.”
