The Fearless Project | Artist Talk and Exhibit
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Stoico/FIRST FED Charitable Foundation Grand Reading Room
- Contact: Center for Women, Gender & Sexuality
- Description: The Fearless Project is a photography project by Jeff Sheng with photos of over 200 gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender high school and college athletes from the United States and Canada. Jeff Sheng, the photographer behind this project, will be speaking and presenting his photographs.
In 2003, Jeff Sheng began photographing LGBT high school and college athletes who were "out" to their teammates, as an artistic self-exploration of his own identity as a former closeted high school athlete. In 2006, Jeff Sheng began exhibiting the photography series at the 2010 and 2012 Olympics, on campuses, and at the headquarters of ESPN and Nike.
This project was recently published into a book, FEARLESS: Portraits of LGBT Student Athletes. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) proudly presents Bill Plympton
Animator; Crowned King of Indie Animation: Drawings from Cheatin'. This exhibition is a showcase of original drawings and production art of animator, cartoonist, and filmmaker Bill Plympton. Nearly 100 original graphite drawings from the artist's recent film Cheatin' will be on display along with other essential production materials and related media to reveal a "behind the scenes" look at Plympton's artistic process. Accompanying the art will be a continuous screening of the feature film Cheatin' in its entirety in the gallery. Video tutorials, produced by the artist himself, further the educational experience of "handmade" animation. This special exhibition curated for UMass Dartmouth can be seen at the CVPA Campus Gallery (UMass Dartmouth Main Campus) from September 29 through November 2, 2016.
Bill Plympton, who has been called The King of Indie Animation, is the first person to independently hand-draw an entire animated feature film. He has created over 40 animated short films and seven animated features. Plympton received Oscar nominations for various animated shorts along with winning the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Canal+ Award for short films at Cannes Critics' Week. Bill Plympton will speak about his work and provide insight into the wild world of cartooning and independent animation. While the event is free and open to the public, reservations for the talk are required and can be made through this link:

Excerpts from Artist's Statement
"Why is it that animation is stereotyped as being only aimed at children and created by computer graphics? Why can't adults see stories for themselves, created in the fantastically free style of a hand-drawn animator? The look of this film is very special to me. When I started my career as an illustrator, I developed a style that I loved, watercolor with a pen and ink crosshatch overlay. But because of the limits of technology, I was never able to recreate my favorite style in animation. However, with the new digital technology available now, I've been able to exactly replicate that beautiful watercolor look."
Biography
Bill Plympton moved to New York City in 1968 and began his career creating cartoons for publications such as The New York Times, Playboy, National Lampoon, and Screw. In 1987, he was nominated for an Oscar for his animated short Your Face. In 2005, Plympton received another Oscar nomination, this time for his short Guard Dog. Push Comes to Shove won the prestigious Cannes 1991 Palme d'Or; and in 2001, another short film, Eat, won the Grand Prize for Short Films in Cannes Critics' Week. After producing many shorts that appeared on MTV, Spike, and Mike's, he turned his talent to feature films. Since 1991, he has made ten feature films. Seven of them, The Tune, Mondo Plympton, I Married a Strange Person, Mutant Aliens, Hair High, Idiots and Angels, and Cheatin', are all animated features. Bill Plympton has also collaborated with Madonna, Kanye West, Terry Gilliam, and "Weird Al" Yankovic in a number of music videos, animated films, and book projects. In 2006, Plympton received the Winsor McCay Lifetime Achievement Award from The Annie Awards.
This event made possible through the generous support of Allan and Priscilla Ditchfield.
