The Virtual Arts in Our Communities Residency celebrates the arts of New York State. Our inaugural 2022 residency focuses on the arts in the Capital District region with an emphasis on the Empire State Plaza and the New York State Museum in Albany, N.Y. During the spring term, students can register for one of five courses related to the practice, performance, support, and creation of the arts. The courses use a blended model that combines online learning with 3 virtual meetings. At these virtual meetings, students will have the opportunity to meet with their instructor and classmates, interact with students in other courses, explore virtual exhibits of historical sites, public arts displays, museum collections, and performing arts spaces.

“[W]omen's letters rarely just exchange information. Instead, they tell stories; they tell secrets; they shout and scold, bitch and soothe, whisper and worry, console and advise, gossip and argue, compete and compare. And along the way, they - usually without meaning to - write history"
(Grunwald and Adler, p.1).
Leading With Authenticity, Vulnerability, Inclusivity, Trust, and ReflectionLisa D'Adamo-Weinstein
Presented at the Spring 2022 SUNY Empire State College Student Conference in Sartatoga Springs, NY - There are innumerable theories and strategies related to the topic of leadership that people can become overwhelmed by trying to find the right “fit.”. Drawing on the works of Brene Brown, Angie Morgan, Courtney Lynch, John Maxwell, Simon Sinek, Angela Duckworth, Susan Cain, Kim Scott, and others, this workshop will focus on a presentation of leadership and the ideas of authenticity, vulnerability, inclusivity, trust, and reflection. Participants will be asked to reflect upon their own leadership in formal and informal contexts as well and create a leadership and life mission statement for themselves.
My creative nonfiction course, Narratives We Think We Know: American Women's Stories through Letters, is now offered with only Open Educational Resources (OERs). I actively sought out two professional development opportunities (IMTL and a Lumen Fellowship) to continue OER development work and design an open forum to allow for students and the public to write their own creative nonfiction responses to the letters we explore in the course. For this presentation, I will share course materials, samples of student work, as well as lessons learned from the OER design process and other research on women’s letter writing.

Capturing Creativity in Times of COVID: A Weekly Virtual Live ShowLisa D'Adamo-Weinstein
Capturing Creativity in Times of COVID: A Weekly Virtual Live Show
Lisa D'Adamo-Weinstein - SUNY Empire State College
Creative Expressions was a weekly virtual arts and culture series conceived of during the COVID-19 pandemic. In an attempt to recreate the in-person sharing of art, music, poetry, and other forms of creative works typically experienced at an annual college event, the series began as an experiment led by the faculty of the School of Arts and Humanities. That first session was so well received, that I continued to host and organize the show every Thursday for 30 weeks.
There were a total of 89 individuals - 34 staff/faculty presenters and 56 student/alumni/guest presenters - who shared their creative talents at least once as part of the series.
Approximately 790 attendees came to the Zoom platform across all 30 sessions. You can find the recordings, materials, and all biographical information about the presenters at the Creative Expressions website.
For this presentation, I will talk about the lessons learned and possibilities for educators to use Zoom and Google Sites to create a shared space for their students and school communities to celebrate the arts and other topic areas to build community, celebrate creativity, and develop an OER resource.

In these unprecedented times, the face of higher education is rapidly changing, and our learning centers must adapt to find ways to help our students (the privileged and underprivileged) engage effectively with technology. The realities of how we support students and the services we offer them must adapt to the current shifts to online learning in their content courses. We must expand upon existing online services and/or develop new ones. We must also support/train our staff members to manage the new ways in which our learning centers must operate.
Learning centers professionals are going to have to think of ways to deliver services 100% online. We need to think about our staff (students and professionals) and how we train them as well as the ways in which we engage our students who might be struggling with the demands of shifting to new modes of learning.
Part 1 - Identifying Immediate Needs
How we can triage and respond in real time to a rapidly evolving change to our operations?
Part 2 - Planning for the Long-term
How do we reflect, assess, resource for sustainability, and plan for future change?

Communication strategies and tools for managing difficult conversationsLisa D'Adamo-Weinstein
Communicating well during highly emotional, high stakes situations is extremely difficult.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Uniting Line: Hoosick Street Underpass Public Art Project
The Uniting Line will transform a 500 foot stretch of road under the Hoosick Street Bridge – an urban void that
acts as a massive divider between downtown Troy and North Central Troy – into a space that draws people
together, uniting what a highway divided. Through creative placemaking, the project will unify the area graphically,
revitalize and beautify the area, encourage more pedestrian activity, and serve as a backdrop to activities that
take place at the adjacent basketball courts and other open spaces.
The project leadership team includes: Barbara Nelson, Executive Director, TAP, Inc.; Deputy Mayor Monica
Kurzejeski; Elizabeth Dubben, Executive Director, Collar Works; Elizabeth Reiss, CEO of The Arts Center of the
Capital Region; and Belinda Colón, Curator, The Arts Center of the Capital Region.

14. Mission
Albany Barn is dedicated to providing a sustainable creative arts incubator and community arts center in
Arbor Hill – a place for artists to live, work and inspire.
Vision
Community renaissance catalyzed through creative collaboration.
Project Overview
Albany Barn, the Albany Housing Authority and the City of Albany partnered to redevelop the former St.
Joseph’s Academy, an abandoned school in the heart of Albany’s Arbor Hill neighborhood into 22 low-cost
live/work residences and a 13,000+ square ft creative arts incubator and program space called The Barn.
History
Albany Barn evolved from Rock2Rebuild™, a grassroots production group established to create events
benefiting important causes while creating opportunities for local creative talent. Rock2Rebuild staged
several major multimedia events and founded an ongoing acoustic concert series in the Children’s Hospital
at Albany Medical Center featuring capital region artists. Rock2Rebuild’s first undertaking to raise funds for
children and families devastated by the 2004 South Asian tsunami disaster attracted 2,000 people, raised
over $26,000, and was voted one of the year’s three “Best Concerts” in the Albany Times Union “2005
Readers Poll,” along with shows by top international touring acts Green Day and the Dave Matthews Band.
Since opening our Stage 1 Gallery in 2009 and The Barn in 2014, we have worked to create and strengthen
opportunities for local artists to execute passion projects and achieve their professional goals. With the
addition of Electric City Barn in 2018, our performance and maker space located at 400 Craig Street in
Schenectady, we have only strengthened our mission to create diverse artistic opportunities and professional
development services for artists.
With a special focus on developing the infrastructure and culture to support a thriving, inclusive, and socially
responsible creative economy in the Capital Region of New York, we believe that through our network and
collective passion, we can work together to uplift our neighborhood and beyond.
