Art Exhibition Opens at Dutchess Community College: "Get Ready with Me" by Dana Robinson

Multidisciplinary artist Dana Robinson brings a unique combination of works based on her Hudson Valley artists' residency experiences. The title of this solo show, "Get Ready with Me," is both a play on the TikTok trend (as Robinson works features commentary on African American beauty standards) and a call to action.

Robinson's Artist Talk (scheduled for Nov. 12 at 12 p.m.) will explore her professional development as an artist and how that process was assisted by the creative opportunities she received in the Hudson Valley. The talk will reveal key benchmarks in becoming a full-time artist and building sustainable professional networks.

The talk, the opening reception and admission to the Mildred I. Washington Gallery are free and open to the public.
