Hi friends, I’m writing to inform you of our next opening reception at Circle Contemporary gallery (at our Chicago studio). We hope you can join us next Friday. Details below.
Community in Color
January 12th – February 23rd
Chicago ACT Collective
Nikole Heusman. Methodical, astute, Romantic.
Christianne Msall. Peace signs, rainbows, flowers, and stars.
Sarah Nishiura. One-of-a-kind quilts.
Roni Packer. Yellowness.
Kelly Stone. Circles, squares, rectangles, blue, green, purple, yellow, people, trees, planes.
Sadie Woods. Merging curation, art-making and deejaying.
Community in Color, co-curated by Lauren Leving and the Arts of Life Curatorial Committee, features work by Chicago-based artists and artists from both of the Arts of Life studios. This exhibition showcases multiple interpretations of community. While some artists rely on the vibrancy of color to convey emotions connected to kinship, others choose to make work that more explicitly references the architectural and landscape elements that create a neighborhood.
Community in Color is constantly in flux, and imagines community building as an artistic practice in itself, shaped by collaborative projects that evolve over the course of the exhibition. The interactivity that stems from the artwork in this exhibit forges relationships between these artists, simultaneously expanding and unifying Chicago’s creative community.
