1. Josely Carvalho, FF Alumn, receives Lee Krasner Award for Life Achievement 2022-24.
I am extremely happy to let you know that I have been awarded the international Lee Krasner Award for the second year in recognition of a lifetime of artistic achievement. It is an honor for me to have my name attached to the artist Lee Krasner, an independent painter, a feminist in her own time that in 1979 after receiving from the Women’s Caucus for Art, the Outstanding Achievement in the Visual Arts award, she thanked by saying: “The belated recognition I have recently received is largely due to consciousness-raising by feminist movement, which I consider the major revolution of our time. Thank you.”
Lee Krasner was an artist committed to fostering the work of the next generations of women artists. Through her generosity, the Pollock-Krasner foundation was established in 1985 to provide financial resources to individual international visual artists.

2. Alice Wu, FF Alumn, at Your Mood Gallery, San Francisco, CA, opening Aug. 5
Dear friends,
I am debuting a pocket-sized performance installation!
Please join me on Saturday August 5, 6-8pm at Your Mood Gallery.
I’ll be presenting a A Proper Monkey, provoked by the writings of Robert Walser. Do not think of this as a faithful representation of the text; rather, I was pleased to have discovered a range of visuals to illustrate my concerns around self-portraiture, representation, translation, labor, and the performance of everyday life. Also on my mind: family, fashion, aging, and expectations of respectable behavior.
Morphologies
A group exhibition curated by Selby Sohn
Opening reception on August 5 and by appointment through August 26, 2023
Your Mood Gallery, Noonan Building, Pier 70, San Francisco, CA 94111
https://www.yourmoodgallery.com/
The performance on Saturday August 5 will be participatory. I will be taking dictation from you.
I’d love to see you! Can’t make it? Let’s make a date! Alice
Thank you.
