The Unframed Arts Collective: Etched in Time Exhibition
Etched in Time considers how identity, memories, and ambitions intersect in the creation of art. This exhibition will explore the complexities of time as told through the eyes of our artists, primarily composed of migrants and folks experiencing housing insecurity. We beg the question, ‘what remains when time moves on?’
Etched in Time will showcase the stories of six distinct featured artists, and additional artworks from dozens of artists in our community who turn to art as self-expression and healing. This exhibition will also feature children’s works, leaving reflections of family, home, and endless imagination. All works are tangible evidence of lives lived fully, and of voices that refuse to be forgotten. We demand that these stories not only be remembered, but also celebrated.
A diverse range of mediums will be displayed: crocheted pieces to origami sculptures to developed photographs and paper drawings. The artworks date back to the launch of our art programs in 2023, up until this year as we begin our third year of operation.
The Children’s Art Carnival, a Harlem-based non-profit, will be hosting Etched in Time. The exhibition will be on view Saturdays and Sundays from November 15th until December 7th from 12 PM – 7 PM. All ticket proceeds will go directly to the featured artists, in addition to all earnings from sold artworks.
If you are a student, use the student code STUDENT8 for $8 tickets. We believe that art should be accessible for all. If ticket pricing remains a barrier to you, kindly email us at info.unframedarts@gmail.com for a complimentary ticket!
