Show Dates: Oct 6 – Oct 29, 2023

Westbeth Gallery is pleased to present Dads, a group exhibition of artists who are also fathers, on view at its’ Richard Meier designed courtyard location, 55 Bethune Street in the West Village of New York. The show is curated by artist James Gortner.

Rarely in the contemporary art conversation is family and fatherhood considered a defining characteristic of an artist’s life, motivation, and/or artistic practice, and it is dismissed as a barrier to the full realization one’s artistic potential. The featured artists have many differences – different stages in their careers, diverse backgrounds and work across many mediums – but they are all dads who make art. It is the point of this exhibition to highlight a unique kind of familial artist identity, and activate your feelings about each work knowing this identity is present.

The Dads exhibition will survey artworks by the following 36 artists:
