The NEW #SmallWins by Art Storefronts!
Post image 1

I have a friend who is a Professor at the University of Florida who is doing research for his new book that will be focused on Bridging Generations. Here's more about what he's looking for & his contact information. You can also email me at info@artbylale.com for more info.
He is recruiting artists 18-24 and those 40 and older who can speak about their intergenerational mentoring relationships they’ve had. He's wanting to find creative artists (either young or old) who can talk about their intergenerational relationships with those younger or older than them who are part of the arts world. He's looking to do zoom interviews with people from around the country. There is no pay but sounds like an interesting project.
Person conducting the research: Dr. William Marsiglio, Department of Sociology and Criminology & Law, email: marsig@ufl.edu; Phone (cell): 352-256-3046.
PS: My painting, Joyous Aging, for interest :)

Mentoring across generations is where a lot of the real learning happens. I've had a couple of photographers 20+ years ahead of me point out things about waiting for light that I wouldn't have figured out on my own for another decade. Good project to document that.

The intergenerational angle is worth pursuing. I worked with a senior photographer in Barcelona years back who taught me to read light on old stone in a way I hadn't considered, and that mentorship shaped how I approach facades now. The research sounds like it's mining something real about how craft knowledge moves between age groups.
