Meet the 2026–2027 McColl Center Exhibition Fellows! At McColl Center, we believe that Art Thrives When Artists Do. That means investing in artists - offering them the time and space they need to grow their creative practice. Now in its third year, the McColl Center Exhibition Fellowship brings together six Charlotte-based artists for a nine-month experience centered on artistic development, mentorship, experimentation, and exchange. Over the months ahead, these artists will deepen their individual practices while working toward a group exhibition curated by Carla Aaron-Lopez @iamkingcarla , opening June 12, 2027. We’re thrilled to introduce this year’s Exhibition Fellows: Ryan Allen @friedchickensandwich , Shareon Blenman @bharestudio , Nicole Driscoll @nicoledfilms , Karen Ingram @krening , Cashay Johnson @cashay.johnson , and José Urbina @joserurbina_ . Across disciplines, materials, and perspectives, each artist enters the Fellowship with a practice of their own - and nine months to ask new questions, take risks, build upon their work, and see where the process leads. Over the coming months, we’ll invite you into that process, sharing more about each Fellow, their work, and what takes shape along the way. Please join us in welcoming the 2026–2027 Exhibition Fellowship cohort to McColl Center! 06 Oct 2026

🎨 This week on Grow Everything, we sit down with artist, designer, and bioart pioneer Karen Ingram @krening to explore where art, nature, and biotech collide. From painting with microbes to building playful frameworks like Fallacy Bingo, Karen shows us how creativity fuels the bioeconomy. 🎧 New episode out now on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube. #GrowEverything #Bioart #Biodesign #SynBio #Podcast #FutureOfBiotech 29 Aug 2025

“Explore Bio Art: Engineer Colored Microbes!” class at Maker Space Charlotte @makerspacecharlotte on November 19 & 20, 6:00 - 8:00pm. 💚 For folks interested in gene editing and microbes, especially if you’ve taken the microbial painting class. Just a few slots available for this course, so grab one quick if you’re curious! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/explore-bio-art-engineer-colored-microbes-tickets-1983328237147 📸 Thanks to @ericview for the pics of the last class and the 3d printed GFP model! I’m excited to welcome some curious new learners! 🧫 Shoutout to Amino Bio and Reshape Biotech @aminobiolab @reshapebiotech 02 Nov 2026

Open Studio | Biogenetic Blooms: “Microbial Topographies” 🖌️Plexus Projects @plexusprojects 📍Brooklyn, NY ⏱️Friday, August 28 • 6 PM - 8 PM 🏔️ “Microbial Topographies” is the newest chapter in @biogeneticblooms , a body of work that treats living organisms as both material and coauthor. Developed during Karen Ingram’s residency at Plexus Projects, this series maps the growth patterns of engineered microbial cultures — bacterial colonies, pigment-producing organisms, and synthetic biology processes — onto surfaces that read as landscape, geology, and topography. Each piece begins as an architected living system: cultures plotted, grown, and documented over days or weeks, their color shifts and branching structures functioning as both process and image. Liquid handling robots — precision instruments built for lab automation — are utilized to plot cultures in a human-designed formation. The occasional airborne spores, stray bacteria, and other uninvited microorganisms find their way into the cultures, introducing contamination that the piece absorbs rather than resists. These unplanned microorganisms deposit their colonies, mapping new terrain across the designed system. ‼️ The event is limited to a small group of attendees. Light refreshments provided. Space is limited; RSVP required. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-studio-biogenetic-blooms-microbial-topographies-plexus-projects-tickets-1998360606368 25 Aug 2026

This ongoing series of artworks includes floral inspired sculptures, prints, and drawings created with genetically modified yeast and bacteria. The exhibition also includes video documentation or her unique process that repurposes biotech robots as painting machines. “…I explore partnerships between human, machine, and microbe, interrogating questions of agency and autonomy in multi-entity investigations…” — Karen Ingram Karen Ingram is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose work traverses bioart, biodesign, and biotechnology. Her artworks and installations have been exhibited at BioBAT Art Space, London Design Week, Times Square, and Plexus Projects. Her work has been covered in Nature Biotechnology, University of Cambridge, and Art Spiel. She was an Emerging Tech fellow at Stanford’s d.school, where she developed synthetic biology teaching tools, and was an instructor at Genspace, Brooklyn’s community biotech lab. Ingram is a NYFA Queens New Work Grant recipient and BioBAT Art Space studio resident. She has spoken widely at venues including at the SXSW, Biodesign Challenge Symposium, MIT, Pratt Institute, and Maryland Institute College of Art. #plexusprojects is an artist-run space founded by interdisciplinary artist & curator Laura Splan @laurasplan." 22 Jul 2026

“How to Grow a BioDesigner” was the prompt for the 3rd annual BioDesign Challenge Symposium (@biodesigned) in NYC at Parsons School of Design (@parsonsschoolofdesign) a few weeks ago. I shared some early insights from a collaborative effort between Julie Legault from Amino Bio (@aminobiolab) in Canada and myself. Thank you to the BioDesign Challenge for providing the forum for sharing insights. More soon! images: Biodesign Challenge, Shannon Carroll @ VividStory 22 Jun 2026
