MANY FACES ArtSpirit
|
ArtSpirit’s exhibit offers the viewer a glimpse into the imagination and
creative life of NYC culture.
These ingenious and well crafted masks and
collages challenge the view that people who live ‘under the radar’ in NY
are not talented individuals with a rich spiritual life. Each mask has
been made by a member of the Holy Apostles Drumming and Art Group. Also
on view are large format Body Collages manufactured by members in a
longer workshop that follows the mask making.For more on ArtSpirit and this exhibit, read It Means Inspiration (pdf). ArtSpirit is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1997 with the mission to use the arts to build community and bridge cultural divides. Join ArtSpirit staff and program participants in an International Day Of Peace Prayer ritual. The opening and the exhibit are free, donations are welcome. |

Photographic Exhibition – Nov 16 to Jan 10 |
EGYPT Kay Erickson |
Faces came out of the back streets and alleys of Egypt from Cairo to
Luxor and Aswan. Smiling faces against the backdrop of thousands of
years of textured layers of light and shadows, paint and stone.
Beautiful people walking the ancient streets where thousands of years of
people preceded them on the same journey. Patterns, history, ancient and
new, all melded together into a natural canvas just waiting to be
captured on film, creating a richness that transcends all notions of
poverty and political differences. Through her extensive travels, Kay captures images of people in local communities around the world within their cultural surroundings. Through these images, she hopes to convey a sense of shared humanness. And in the process, to help eliminate some of the present cultural stereotypes that are contributing to worldwide unrest. |
