Staff changes at Martha Street
Martha Street Studio would like to extend our thanks and best wishes to Andrea Roberts and Jaime Black. Andrea worked at Martha Street as a studio technician and is now attending the MFA Sculpture Program at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Jaime held the position of Community Program Coordinator and has taken a year’s leave.
We are happy to welcome Peter Graham as our new studio technician and Sarah Crawley in the position of Community Program Coordinator. Peter is a talented printmaker specializing in etching and is also experienced in screen printing and lithography. Since graduating from the U of M in 2011 he has been exploring non-toxic etching techniques, whose use he is keen to promote. Sarah is a photo-based artist with many years of experience working with arts organizations and other communities in Winnipeg in various capacities including arts administrator, technician, mentor and teacher.
