New Leadership to Continue the Work of 10 East Arts 

10 East Arts is excited to welcome Primrose “Prim” Paul as the new 10 East Arts Director.

Primrose Paul is an artist, writer, and curator who earned her BFA from the University of Indianapolis and currently serves as the 10 East Arts Program Coordinator overseeing the operation of 10 East Arts. As a curator, Paul has worked with the University of Indianapolis and the Basile Cultural Center to create a space that celebrates multiculturism at through exhibition and programming.

Paul’s practice with writing explores identity in the cultural marketplace, specifically focusing on speculation of an Afrofuturist future. She is a member of the editorial collective of FIELD: A Journal of Socially Engaged Art Criticism where her essay on Afrofuturism was recently published. As an artist, Paul works mainly with oil painting experimenting on the relationship between the foreground, background, and texture in portraiture. Paintings created are made as opposites of one another, often accompanied by a component of storytelling.
