ARToberFest: A Housing Thing with BAC Artist-in-Residence Baylee Schmitt

A Housing Thing
with BAC Artist-in-Residence Baylee Schmitt
Date & Time: Saturday, October 5, 2024 12 – 3PM

A collaborative fiber and textile sculpture. Participants are invited to add strips of yarn, ribbon, and fabric to a bare house-like structure. A Housing Thing comes together through community efforts to create a private space with just enough room for one person to rest inside.  

About Baylee
Baylee Schmitt (MFA from Miami University) is currently the DAAP Printmaking Lab Manager at UC. A fiber artist and printmaker, Baylee exhibited work with solo exhibitions at River East Gallery in Toledo, OH, at LASC in Lexington, KY, and an upcoming exhibition of new work at Laisun Keane Gallery in Boston, MA.

This event is a Fall Multidisciplinary Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather, engage, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partner
