SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: STRONGER TOGETHER
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: Friday\, June 20th – Sunday\, July 20th \nGallery Hours: Saturday & Sunday 12:00 – 5:00 pm \nOpening Reception: Friday\, June 20th\, 6–8 pm  (RSVP) \nFeaturing artists: Élan Cadiz\, Edwin G. Cadiz\, and Dr. Sharon M. Cadiz \nSpecial Workshops:\n \n\nSaturday\, July 12\, 1 to 3 pm – Contemporary Self Portraits by Élan Cadiz (Learn more and Register)\nA workshop on different ways of seeing and representing ourselves visually\nSunday\, July 19\, 1 to 3 pm – Collage Workshop by Edwin G Cadiz (Learn more and Register)\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nSTRONGER TOGETHER exhibition is about the importance of various groups of people related by blood\, marriage\, adoption\, or even chosen relationships\, working beyond differences in order to reach a common goal of sharing and learning.\n\nAs a first born daughter\, my experience of my parents was totally different than my brother’s\, and moreover\, sharing space with my parents only allowed me a narrow perspective to who they are as people.\n\nBefore I was born\, Edwin and Sharon Cadiz were both active artists and mentors to community youth in Ravenswood Houses\, our home and neighborhood in Long Island City. After my birth we grew together as they both achieved their academic goals. My mother is a writer and received her PhD in Early Childhood Development and Education. My father gained his Masters in Studio Art and Education.\n\nBut living with others\, whether family or friends\, can sometimes feel like living with strangers\, especially when there is a lack of communication and understanding.\n\nThis exhibition is an investigation of both my parents as artists and ways our artworks share and discuss space and time. It’s a deliberate arrangement of visual artworks and writings that illustrates the ways we feel seen and heard. Encouraging true connection rather than just cohabitation.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSTRONGER TOGETHER is made possible with funding from the Harlem Community Development Corporation\, New York Council on the Arts\, West Harlem Development Corporation\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, Ruth Foundation for the Arts\, and through contributions from West Harlem community members. \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Reflections of WEUSI: 1965 to Present

Unapologetic in their mission\, these visionary artists used their work to amplify the voices of the African diaspora\, leaving an indelible mark on Harlem’s cultural landscape and beyond during a time of social and political upheaval. \nMany Weusi artists played a pivotal role in establishing the CAC as a creative hub for Black artists and a landmark cultural institution in Harlem. They served as teachers\, mentors\, and advocates\, championing the value of arts and culture in the community. \nReflections of WEUSI will feature the work of 16 collective members\, spanning from 1965 to the present. This timely exhibition brings their legacy into focus\, offering both instruction and inspiration to a new generation of artists navigating an evolving yet familiar landscape of challenges and change. \n \nParticipating artist list  in alphabetical order:\n \n\n\n\nAbdullah Aziz\nJesse Anthony Henry\nAdemola Olugebefola\n\n\nKay Brown\nJennifer Ivey\nOkoe Pyatt\n\n\nPerry Cannon\nMLJ Johnson\nEd Sherman\n\n\nRobert Daniels\nDindga McCannon\nDeborah Singletary\n\n\nJimmy James Greene\nKarl A.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Making Thoughts Become - A Love Letter to Betty
DESCRIPTION:Making Thoughts Become\nA Love Letter to Betty\nExhibition Dates February 28 – March 30th  \nOpening Reception on Friday\, February 28\, 6-8pm (RSVP) \nIn 1978\, Betty Blayton Taylor\, the founder of the Children’s Art Carnival\, self-published Making Thoughts Become\, a handbook for teachers and adults dedicated to “all the children who have or will attend the Children’s Art Carnival – with the hope that they will all become creative\, productive and balanced adults.”  In remembrance and tribute\, we honor the legacy of Betty Blayton Taylor with a ‘love letter’ exhibition comprising work created by students in the early years of the forty-year plus history of the Carnival\, activated by quotes of Betty’s own words\, which are presented in the exhibition as artwork itself. This heartfelt exhibition not only showcases the talents of young artists but also serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Betty Blayton Taylor’s vision and dedication. Through her unwavering commitment to nurturing creativity in children\, she has left an indelible mark on countless lives\, inspiring generations to explore and express their artistic potential. \n  \n \n\n\nAbout Betty Blayton-Taylor\n\n\n\n\nAs an artist\, Betty Blayton-Taylor was an illustrator\, painter\, printmaker\, and sculptor. She is best known for her works\, often described as ‘spiritual abstractions.’ Betty Blayton-Taylor was a co-founder and Board Secretary of the Studio Museum in Harlem\, co-founder and Executive Director of Harlem Children’s Art Carnival (CAC)\, and co-founder of Harlem Textile Works. She served as an advisor\, consultant\, and board member to various arts and community-based service organizations and programs. Her artworks are widely exhibited in and collected by various private art collections\, galleries\, and museums. \n\n\n\nStudent’s work taught by Donavan Nelson\, former CAC instructor \n  \nMaking Thoughts Become A Love To Betty s made possible with funding from West Harlem Development Corporation\, New York Council on the Arts\, Harlem Development Corporation\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, the Ruth Foundation for The Arts and donations from New York Film Academy and Hamilton Heights community and beyond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Born in Puerto Plata\, Dominican Republic\, Milagros draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of her childhood—ocean waves\, bustling markets\, and the aroma of coffee and sugarcane. Growing up during a challenging political era\, Milagros found strength in her family and guidance in the form of Doña Maria Luisa\, a Freedom Fighter and Master Knitter. This mentorship became the foundation of her journey into the world of fiber arts\, knitting\, crochet\, and social justice. \nEarly Influence and Mentorship \nAt seven\, Milagros’ meeting with Doña Maria Luisa marked the beginning of a transformative journey. Hindered by financial constraints\, Milagros proposed a unique arrangement—she’d work for knitting lessons. Doña Maria Luisa\, a fearless advocate against dictatorship\, not only agreed but ignited in Milagros a passion for social change. Doña Maria Luisa’s passing didn’t halt Milagros’ growth; instead\, she became part of a collective of women mentors\, guiding her until her family moved to New York. The vibrant culture of NYC\, coupled with the influence of the “Black is Beautiful” movement\, shaped Milagros’ perspective\, fueling her commitment to equity\, sustainability\, and gender neutrality. \nThe Batista Collections: Brand Bio \nMilagros Batista – Designing for Equity\, Sustainability\, and Gender Neutrality \nA decade ago\, Milagros transitioned careers to dedicate herself entirely to knitting and crochet. In 2016\, she birthed Batista Collections\, challenging preconceptions in high fashion. The resurgence of these crafts during the pandemic amplified her mission\, solidifying their presence in the industry. Milagros’ designs stand out\, incorporating intricate cables reminiscent of braided hair. Pieces like the “Free Spirited” shawl/jacket symbolize freedom and self-expression. As Batista Collections moves forward\, it envisions pushing creative boundaries\, defining a path where fashion meets individuality. \nMission Statement \nAt Batista Collections\, we’re crafting a fashion revolution beyond gender norms. Fashion should liberate\, allowing limitless self-expression. Rooted in inclusivity and authenticity\, our gender-neutral garments empower individuals to embrace their unique identities without fear or limitation. Meticulously crafted\, our designs blur gender lines\, allowing wearers to explore personal style with confidence. We celebrate the beauty of diversity\, honoring the rich tapestry of global identities. Committed to sustainability\, we prioritize ethical practices and mindful production. Join us in this transformative journey where fashion becomes a tool for self-expression and empowerment. \n\n \n\n\nAna Ofelia Rodriguez \n\n\n\n\nAna-Ofelia is a multilingual Community Development individual who focuses on bringing people together through the arts and promoting exemplary projects by highly trained professional artists and educators whose passion is to work with people in marginalized communities. In 2002 she introduced legendary artist Faith Ringgold to Broadway Housing Communities to begin a conversation on the need of more structured spaces for children to learn about art. These conversations with Ms. Ringgold culminated with the creation of the first children’s museum in Harlem. The Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art and Storytelling\, is a beacon of hope for current and future generations of children and families of Northern Manhattan. \n\nThe enchanting world of Milagros Batista is made possible with funding from West Harlem Development Corporation\, Lower Manhattan Development Corporation\, the Ruth Foundation for The Arts and donations from New York Film Academy and Hamilton Heights community members. The exhibition is presented by The Children’s Art Carnival.
