The Reveiling of the Hard Works at Yale Exhibition
and Reception with the artist, Gordon Skinner
4:00 pm* at the Af-am Center, The gallery
*immediately following Classically Black
New Haven, CT - Artist Gordon Skinner aptly describes his artwork as
“Integrity Art” - “Art that is real, honest, and promotes creative
consistency.” The title of his show, Hard Works, a double entendre of
sorts, describes Skinner’s collection of paintings comprised primarily
of organic portraits that are given expression through the use of bold
color, spontaneous brushwork, and a world of hard-edged personal
history. In the mask-like visages that Skinner paints, lie revelations
that are both personal and universal. They’re reflections that confront
some of the hard realities and pressing issues that exist all around us -
but do not always press us to action. Check out a documentary on his
work here.
A Screening of Gun Hill Road and talk back with director, Rashaad Ernesto Green
Gun Hill Road is the story of a family in transition. It is the story of
a young man exploring his sexuality in an intolerant and judgmental
world and his exploration's impact on his relationship with his parents
and himself. After three years in prison, Enrique (Esai Morales) returns
home to the Bronx to find the world he knew has changed. His wife,
Angela (Judy Reyes), struggles to hide an emotional affair, and his
teenage son, Michael (Harmony Santana), explores a sexual transformation
well beyond Enrique's grasp and understanding
A recipient of the prestigious 2009 Princess Grace Foundation - Cary
Grant Film Award and named one of indieWIRE’s top ten new voices in
cinema, Rashaad continues his work in New York City as a screenwriter,
director and founder of filmhouse Mi Alma Films. Selected for the 2010
Tribeca All Access Program, "Gun Hill Road" was also named recipient of
the 2009 Spike Lee Fellowship, the 2010 Fotokem Printing &
Processing Grant, and recognized by the Urban Arts Initiative in New
York City and Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance.

Boston Teacher Residency will be on campus. Click here for details and RSVP.
Since 2003, we've graduated over 400 teachers who are working together

The Boston Teacher Residency (BTR) is an innovative program in urban
education that combines graduate coursework toward a Masters degree in
Education with a yearlong teaching apprenticeship before placement as a
full-time teacher in the Boston Public Schools (BPS). We recruit
talented, committed individuals of all ages and diverse backgrounds to
enter a 13-month Teacher Residency modeled on a clinical teaching
hospital approach; residents apply theory to practice, taking rigorous
coursework and gaining extensive hands-on, practical experience in the
classroom. They then continue to receive formal support and professional
development during the first three years and beyond of their teaching
careers.
Our mission is to drive significant student achievement gains in Boston
through the recruitment, preparation, and support of exceptional
teachers. Since 2003, we've graduated over 400 teachers who are working
together across to the district toward fulfilling what we believe should
be a basic promise of our democracy: a quality public education for
every child, no matter what. That promise starts with great teachers.

● Take coursework taught by exceptional faculty
● Earn a low-cost M.Ed. from University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass
Boston), a Massachusetts Initial Teacher license, and credit toward dual
license in Special Education or English as a Second Language
● Receive a generous stipend plus health benefits during the residency year

● Take advantage of our unique tuition remission agreement -- the $10K
program tuition is fully waived after completion of a three-year
teaching commitment in the Boston Public Schools
