NIAD artist Luis Estrada and Visionaries and Voices artist Tyler Spohn will discuss their practices and work at progressive art studios. Estrada and Spohn are exhibiting artists in Not Quite Fatal at Wave Pool Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio. Exhibition Curator and NIAD facilitator Chelsea Smith will be in attendance as well.
Art is as much community as it is individual. We are shaped by those we love and those who love and have loved us. Love and community are intergenerationally woven into us all. Deatra Colbert and Maria Radilla’s work both speak to the ways in which we look to community as inspiration for voicing our own personal experience in this world.
This exhibition features works created over the past five years by NIAD artist Nathan Lam. A survey of the artist's practice, this collection includes works on paper that predate his time in the NIAD Studio. From charcoal still life drawings, to comic style illustrations branded with his signature "Lamic", and generously applied acrylic paintings of mountains inspired by a summer trip to Alaska. We offer a look into the different ways Nathan Lam works.
Join us for a lively virtual walkthrough and conversation with curators and artists involved in NIAD's August gallery exhibitions.
Join to celebrate NIAD's August exhibitions: With You in Mind / Contigo en Mente, organized by Saif Azzuz in the Main Gallery, and "Works by Nathan Lam" in the Annex.
Looking through works from the roster of NIAD artists, ideas around bodies coming together under the unifying force of music for release, freedom, self-expression and camaraderie began to emerge. Balloons, dancing, fearless fashion, music, friendship, colorful people and spaces filled with lights, projections and disco balls; all themes that form the ethos of our space. These works highlight motifs and sentiments that conjure the feeling of bliss from celebrating life with chosen families through music.
Join us for an Artists in Conversation for our exhibition "Soft Material" with artists Shantae Robinson, Raven Harper, and Karen May, with Moderator Nan Collymore.
