Review: Trinidad James – The Wake Up EP

January 26, 2015 · by Emanuel Wallace · in RapReviews

Collectors, art enthusiasts, and exhibition lovers—experience a powerful showcase where nature and emotion intertwine. This curated exhibition features over 20 artists exploring the relationship between grief, healing, and the natural world through striking visual and installation works.

Thankful.

"With my dear mother in the audience, I would be in serious trouble if I didn't say that I give all thanks and glory to God.

I would also like to thank the Cleveland Arts Prize, all the judges and all of the other organizations involved in making this Verge Fellowship a reality.

To say that support for the arts is needed in Cleveland would be a gross understatement at any point in time, but especially in the times that are seemingly headed towards now.

And support comes in many forms -- monetary of course -- always support living artists as much as possible.

But also putting in a good word for someone when an opportunity arises, liking and sharing social media posts of new works or even attending an exhibition opening -- are also great ways to show support.

Being here tonight...is support.

I have to keep it short, but I've said all that to say that I'm ready to do the work and I hope you all are as well.

Thank you."
