CURRENT And Upcoming EXHIBITIONS
A QUEENS FINE ART SPRING AFFAIR
Opening Reception: April 30, 5-9pm
Live entertainment starts at 5pm
Exhibition on view: April 28 - May 30
Queens is home to the largest and most diverse artists community in NYC. This event will serve as a platform for the Queens artists community to share their work with the general public. For those interested in collecting art, art fairs are an excellent place to begin one's journey. At these events one can see a wide range of works in a short period of time. While some fairs focus on a specific type of artwork, such as photography, prints, or contemporary art, Culture Lab LIC will show a high quality mix of work. Come meet artists, socialize with the art community, and have a good time!
See the Women
Indoor Art Event
May 29, 3-7pm
Join us as we showcase the work of women artists who took part in our See The Women workshop. Visitors will have the chance to make their own healing prayer beads. This event is free, with donations accepted.
Tara Evonne Trudell is coming from New Mexico to host a three-day Karma Star Sisterheal Prayer Bead retreat for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. She is fiscally sponsored by here there and EVERYwhere, a NYC-based non-profit providing creative expression workshops for survivors of trauma. This retreat will help to rebuild community for individuals who lost support during the pandemic, and extend a hand to newly suffering members of the population. Retreat participants will have the opportunity to collaborate and heal together through bead making, ceremony, and more. Participation is invite-only, but please join us for the cumulative exhibition where we will share the work created in the workshop. Expect a special guest artist playing classical contemporary piano during the exhibition.
Culture Lab LIC will also have on view the Spring Affair exhibition, and live, outdoor music will be performed from 3:30 to 9pm, featuring C.J. Lee, Andrew Richards and The Joseph Herbst Big Band. Food and drinks will be available during this exhibition.
A CREATIVE ENCOUNTER
Workshop
June 2, 6-9pm
In this session, informed by Gestalt Art Therapy, we will work with both body and mind, flowing between movement and visuals that offer tools for each person to expand their connection, to both self and other, by exploring the creative process and it's potential for deepening self understanding. If you don't know what this looks like, come and find out.
No experience in art-making of any kind is needed. Please bring water and wear comfortable clothes for movement.
The workshop will be guided by Blanche Ellis, a multidisciplinary artist and musician based in Barcelona, training in Gestalt Art Therapy.
