You’re Invited: Pure Joy Opening at Newark Arts Festival 2025

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!
