December 3 – 12, 2024

Open Studio Reception: Thursday, December 5 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM                                         

The Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery is pleased to announce Alicia Renadette as the Department of Art and Art History’s 2024 Artist-in-Residence.

The Rhode Island-based interdisciplinary artist Alicia Renadette will relocate her studio practice to Salve Regina’s Hamilton Gallery for the two weeks following the Thanksgiving holiday.  During this period, she will share her creative process with the Salve community and incite new opportunities for dialogue, interaction, and learning on campus.

As an artist-in-residence, Alicia Renadette will explore the interplay of sculpture and mixed-media drawing.  Renadette proposes to move fluidly between two and three dimensions while building densely layered hybrid forms that draw from both the natural world and material culture.  Her sculptural abstractions mine the lost and found, recasting discarded and displaced everyday objects as agents of history, memory, and growth.  Drawing plays a critical role in her accretive process.  She approaches drawing not as a preliminary study or descriptive summary of form, but rather as an intuitive way to deconstruct, repurpose, and transform the ideas and materials of sculpture.

Alicia Renadette is a native of upstate New York.  She now lives and work in Providence, RI.  Renadette studied Sculpture at the San Francisco Art Institute (MFA) and Hartford Art School (BFA).  She has attended multiple residency programs and received numerous awards.  Her artwork has been exhibited widely.  Her local exhibitions include AS220, the Newport Art Museum, the Jamestown Art Center, and Brown University.  Alicia Renadette is curator and co-director at Overlap Gallery in Newport, RI.

As the Department of Art and Art History’s Artist-in-Residence, Alicia Renadette will work in the Hamilton Gallery daily, from December 3 through 12, 2024, during the Gallery’s public hours of operation.  On Thursday, December 5 the campus community and the general public are invited to attend an open studio reception with Dan.  This reception will run from 5:00 to 7:00 PM in the Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery.

The Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery is located in the Antone Academic Center on the campus of Salve Regina University.  It is handicap accessible with parking along Lawrence and Leroy Avenues.  Its exhibits are open Tuesdays and Thursdays 11:00 to 6:00 p.m., Wednesdays and Fridays 11:00 to 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays noon to 4:00 p.m.  The gallery is closed on Mondays.  We invite you to visit us.
