Huge shoutout to Jameel Bridgewater for sharing his creative journey and vision with us! Jameel hosted his exhibit, Have a Seat, Take a Seat, in SCD’s Moonlight Bay, where we had the chance to sit down with him and learn more about how he developed his artistic voice. Hearing his thoughts on being an artist in Champaign/Urbana was a powerful reminder of the potential this community holds. 🧡 💙 “Why couldn’t this (Champaign/Urbana) be like New York or LA? Why couldn't it be Chicago? We have resources here, the internet is huge, there’s a lot of space to create here. Be as present as you can, and don’t be afraid of being an artist that's making work in a place like this...Develop it (your work) here with yourself in smaller proximity, and then maybe take it somewhere else.” Your words and work have energized us, and we’re grateful for the insight and encouragement you offered to young creatives here. Never forget—you’re always welcome at SCD! 🎨✨
