SUMMARY:From Love II: Intimacy Through the Lens of Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:From Love II: Intimacy Through the Lens of Incarceration explores sex and sexuality through erotic art\, research based articles\, poetry\, paintings\, photos\, objects\, and ephemera\, created by currently incarcerated artists and their loved ones.  \n“Intimacy is a human right. The carceral system prohibits people from exercising that right\, a basic human need\, a salve. Healing is stolen from us.” JW \nThe exhibit exposes conditions that deny intimacy\, and highlights how intimacy is reclaimed\, maintained or lost. It sheds light on the struggle to sustain intimate relationships on the outside\, while serving time inside a system that denies people of basic human rights\, destroys families\, and is designed to break both body and spirit.  \nWith this in mind\, From Love II reminds us that fantasy\, pleasure\, sex\, and intimacy\, continue to serve as radical acts of resistance and liberation. Join us in the fight! \nPlease note\, this exhibition explores themes\, imagery\, and language that may be considered sensitive or provocative. Viewer discretion is advised\, as the content may include explicit or challenging subjects. We encourage thoughtful engagement and respectful dialogue as you experience the artwork presented. Some portions of this exhibit may not be suitable for all audiences. \nArtwork is for sale\, with prices available upon request\, and proceeds going directly to the artists. For more information\, please email singsingfamilycollective@gmail.com \nThank you for witnessing this work\, for being in community with us. \nLove & Solidarity\,\nAnna Adler & Joseph Wilson\, Sing Sing Family Collective\, August 2024 \nExhibit Dates: August 16-26\, 2024\nGallery Hours (Starting August 16):\nMon-Fri: 10AM-4PM\nSaturday\, August 17 10AM-6PM\nSaturday\, August 24 10AM-5PM \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, August 17\, 2024 4-6PM\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, August 24\, 2024 4-5PM \nCurated by Anna Adler &\nJoseph Wilson\nc/o Sing Sing Family Collective \nFeaturing…\nSircobra\nEllis Douglas\nBismark Lithgow\nDyego Foddrell\nJohn J.

SUMMARY:CALL FOR ARTWORK SUBMISSIONS: "I'm Scared" Art Show
DESCRIPTION:Call for Artwork Submissions for “I’m Scared” Art Show\n\n\nGallery Dates: October 4-31\, 2024\n\n\n“I’m Scared” Themes + Questions\nWhat does it truly mean to be scared? What are the shadows that haunt your thoughts? What are the things that keep you awake at night\, and what should we genuinely fear? \nI’m Scared will be an exhibition that plunges into the depths of human fear\, both conceptually and literally\, attempting to evoke reaction and send shivers down your spine. This show is not merely about showcasing artworks; it’s about creating an experience that challenges our perceptions of fear and allows us to confront them. \nFrom the seemingly trivial childhood dread of monsters lurking under the bed to the profound\, soul-shaking horrors that grip us as adults\, I’m Scared aims to represent a large spectrum of fear. We plan to feature a diverse array of works that resonate with audiences of many different demographics and backgrounds\, tapping into both universal and deeply personal terrors. \n\nSubmissions due by Friday\, September 6\, 2024 at 11:59PM\nNotifications: Friday\, September 13\, 2024\nSubmissions made outside of Submittable will not be accepted\, see link below! \nTo learn more about dates\, details\, guidelines\, and to apply – click here!\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, email Curator Lexi Rudley at alexar@bethanyarts.org.
