Over a span of two and a half years, Jamaal Eversley worked with his dearest artist friends to create something bold, beautiful, and ultimately hopeful despite enduring a constant pandemic and shattering division this country hasn’t seen in over 150 years. This has been a very challenging time but with the friends he has made, it has been a journey of a lifetime.
This exhibition is a part of the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Curatorial Program. As a community arts education space, the New Art Center believes that art creates change. With a 44+ year history of building community through art, we recognize it is crucial to use our platform to fight systemic racism and social injustices.
The BIPOC Curatorial Program enables curators who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color to develop and share exhibitions that spark dialogue, share personal vision, and personal experiences through curation. We hope this opportunity will create much needed dialogue to counter systemic racism.
Join us at The New Art Corridor (245 Walnut Street in Newton) from January 17 through March 13. The gallery space is open 24/7 so stop by anytime!
The New Art Corridor is sponsored by The Village Bank, Mark Development, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
