Amy Fleming is an Adjunct Professor of Printmaking at Florida State University. She is the recipient of a grant from Puffin Foundation Ltd., and a Robert Rauschenberg/Barrier Island Group for the Arts award. She has been an associate artist at the Atlantic Center for the Arts residency program, Artist in Residence at 621 Gallery in Tallahassee and a Summer River Fellows Program resident artist at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia. Her work is included in public and private collections, including the Jean and Alexander Heard Library at Vanderbilt University, and the Southern Graphics Council International permanent collection at Kennesaw State University.
Megan Mosholder is an artist who operates in the real-world setting of the social-political landscape through site-responsive, sculptural installations. With the creation of three-dimensional drawings often enhanced by light, Megan emphasizes obscured elements within recognizable objects and correlates the symbolic with lived experience. She is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design and has received numerous awards from institutions such as the Foundation for Contemporary Arts and the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences. Her diverse exhibition history includes an installation in Sydney, Australia (2017), a body of site-specific work that speaks of the lasting impression a fully immersive, multi-sensory artwork can leave on a viewer. Megan currently resides in Atlanta, GA where she is a Professor at Kennesaw State University.
Devin Jackson Randall
Writer, playwright, performer
Philadelphia, PA
Devin Jackson Randall is a playwright, producer, and performer based in Philadelphia. His childhood love of gay media, fantasy, and theatre have led to an adulthood of sharing queer and black speculative fiction any way he can. Devin has self-produced several works such as a 2018 production of Lionel Questions the Universe; several readings; performing a one-man show in Philly’s SoLow Fest 2018; a Philly Fringe Festival 2019 production of Whine & Waffles; and his “Salon” series (in which he provides spaces for Philly writers to network and share their works). In addition to his own work, Devin is a member of Philadelphia’s The Foundry, has worked with the New Freedom Theater, and thrived as an intern with PlayPenn’s 2017 Summer Conference.
