ArtVenture: Welcome Signals With Juliana Kang Robinson
How do signs reflect attitudes and values? Have you ever noticed how a simple sign on a door can deliver a meaningful message? Welcome signs can have a powerful impact in communicating inclusion and belonging. In neighborhoods throughout the country, people are putting up signs with messages of tolerance to act as a stronghold against hostility. In this collaborative ArtVenture, join artist Juliana Kang Robinson as we use art to contribute to an atmosphere of welcome in our neighborhoods. Participants will make bold, unique “welcome” signs that families can take home to signal to passersby a message of togetherness, support, and love.

Juliana Kang Robinson is an interdisciplinary artist creating work that reflects on themes of territoriality, holism, unity, and separation in the world. Born in South Korea, she received her Master in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2018, Kang Robinson installed her first public art project at the Seattle Center. This past summer, she completed a public art commission for the Seattle Department of Transportation and Seattle Office of Arts & Culture. Recent honors include a Nippon Steel Presidential Award, a LeRoy Neiman Foundation Fellowship at the Ox-Bow School of Art, a Women's Studio Workshop Artist Residency, and a ArtBridge Fellowship at Pratt Fine Arts Center.  In 2015, she was selected as one of twelve artists nationwide at the 21st Juried Exhibition at the Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles and was an invited guest artist for the group exhibition Hungry Ghosts, hosted by the Asian American Women Artists Association at the historic Manilatown Center Gallery in San Francisco. Her work can be found in collections nationally and internationally, including the Joan Flasch Collection at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Women's Studio Workshop, the Artists' Books Collection at the Rikhardinkatu Library of Helsinki, De Anza College, University of California Berkeley, the San Francisco Public Art collection, and the City of Seattle Fresh Perspectives Art Collection.
