I’m excited to share that my work will be part of Pure Joy, Newark Arts’ inaugural group exhibition at the Paul Robeson Galleries @ Express Newark. This landmark show celebrates Newark Arts Festival 2025 and brings together over 70 visual artists exploring joy as a creative force.
Pure Joy highlights joy not as fleeting, but as a catalyst for resilience, hope, and connection. Through painting, film, and mixed-media, the exhibition showcases how artists transform joy into an act of resistance, love, and cultural celebration.
As Audre Lorde reminds us: “Once we recognize we can feel deeply, we can love deeply, we can feel joy, then we will demand that all parts of our lives produce that kind of joy.”
✨ Please RSVP (free) to join me for the opening reception and festival weekend!
Opening Reception: Thursday, 5–9pm
Festival Hours: Friday 5–10pm | Saturday 12–5pm
Regular Hours: Mon–Wed 12–5pm | Thurs 12–8pm | Sat 12–5pm
Let’s celebrate joy together!
