Spark: Equality Divide & Women in the Arts

The next installment of Spark! seeks to address issues that affect women in the arts community: What roles do women play in the arts in comparison to their male counterparts? What are the stereotypes? How do you find access to mentors?

Superficially, a neighborhood is designated by boundaries, the invisible lines traced along streets and across topographical features. But a neighborhood is given meaning by its inhabitants, the people whose lives enmesh to tell a story and create a sense of place. Here All Along is a collaborative exhibition featuring works from several artists living and/or working in the Klondike Smokey City, New Chicago and Crosstown neighborhoods.

The show’s works are expressions of individual experiences, but together they conjure notions of everyday life in these communities. From portraiture to large-scale public sculpture to intricate leather and fabric goods, Here All Along is a collection of distinct offerings focused on transcending invisible lines and creating connections between neighborhoods, connections between people.

Participating Artists: Calvin Farrar, Renee Hodges, Darlene Newman, Ted Norwood, Artiek Smith, Nelson Smith III, Nelson Smith IV and Larry Walker & Brittney Bullock
