New York, NY

Yvonne Lamarr-Rogers in collaboration with El Barrio’s Art Space PS 109 presents the SECOND ANNUAL WOMEN CELEBRATE WOMEN

A multi-media group exhibition celebrating women as reflected in the creative work of New York women artists.

Exhibition curator and New York-based mixed media artist, teaching artist and jewelry design- er, Yvonne Lamar-Rogers says the mission of this year’s Women Celebrate Women exhibition is to celebrate and honor women of all backgrounds. In the words of playwright Ntozake Shange, “Where there is a woman, there is magic.”

Originally planned for Women’s History Month in March 2020, the annual exhibition will instead be held this year in August due to the coronavirus pandemic. Organizers look forward to hold- ing future Women Celebrate Women exhibitions in March.

The public is welcome to view the amazing collection of multi-media creative works in the heart of an East Harlem artistic community at the beautiful El Barrio’s Artspace PS109, a previously abandoned public school building that was transformed into a community housing complex for artists. The circa-1899 landmark building offers beautiful space for the arts as well as important cultural programming in the East Harlem community.

Arnold Hinton featured in New Yorker article

Arnold Hinton

Arnold Hinton is the subject of the Public Images Dept article by Sarah Larsen in the August 2, 2021 issue of the New Yorker.

“A lot of my photographs are done from waist high,” Hinton said. “I don’t look in the camera. Lisette would always ask me, ‘How did you do that?’ A lot of it dealt with being in environments where it was physically harmful, or in a country where I was the only one that looked like I looked.” Hinton is Black. “I have had guns put to my head, film taken, been locked up for being a photographer,” he said.

OF THE PANDEMIC

The New York Artists Circle
Lost & Found: A Personal Vision of the Pandemic

An Exhibition and Series of Four Inspiring Roundtable Events

The NY Artists Circle presents the work of 117 selected artists who reveal what is truly important in their lives, as they cope with waves of loss as well as surprisingly positive personal change during this Pandemic time. They give us a wide-ranging array of personal explorations on the theme of Lost and Found, from the concrete and tangible to the sheer existential.

The exhibit includes the work of Westbeth visual artists, Elisa Decker, Diana Jensen, Christina Maile, Charles Seplowin, and Barbara Slitkin.

Exhibition dates: May 1 – Aug 31, 2021
Online viewing begins Saturday, May 1st.

Go to New York Artist Circle Curated Show.

The show is divided into four unique sub-themes focusing on different aspects of what is Lost and Found: The Personal, The Iconographic, The Societal, and Artistic Discoveries. Each offers thought-provoking and inspiring reflections on our shared human experiences during a Global Crisis.

New York Artists Circle ­– Our Story

We are the New York Artists Circle (NYAC), a group of professional visual artists who connect to share information, opportunities, skills and resources. Exhibiting and selling artwork are priorities. Since 1996, we have built a collective bank of expertise through monthly meetings, an active listserve, a dynamic social media presence, and a group website.

We support our members in their professional growth, fostering groundbreaking ideas, fresh approaches and innovative collaborations and technological advancement. Working together in community helps us to meet the challenges we face in our solo practices, proving that there is strength in numbers!

We invite you to browse through our searchable registry to find artists for exhibitions, collaborations, media and other opportunities. Prominent curators have created both online and “brick and mortar” exhibitions by selecting work from our website and many of our artists have received commissions through this interface.

Artwork on our site is for sale, rent or licensing. Contact artists directly through their individual profiles in our searchable registry for purchase details, and for any other professional inquiries. For general inquiries, our administrators can be reached through the Contact Page.
