People are reborn in New York City. The portraits will represent the identities of New Yorkers, their values and culture. Our exhibition will be showcasing the freedoms the city offers. Everyone in the city is unique. Here and Now: Portraits of New York will present distinctive works in various media by emerging artists. Small run editions will encourage accessibility and a discussion that extends beyond a restricted art world. The curation is concerned with questions of historical ownership, market participation, and alternative modes of distribution.
This multifaceted group of artists, working in painting, photography, sculpture, and material items will capture the face of New York now and very likely in the future. Here and Now: Portraits of New York will bring new artists to New Yorkers, and bring as well New Yorkers to each other, letting us all see each other as portraits.
Opening night is from 6pm to 8pm on December 12th, 2017. Gallery hours will be 12pm to 8pm. On December 16th, 2017 there will be a closing celebration from 6pm to 8pm.
