Join us for the Grand Opening of our Fern & Fossil Shop, and plant themed group exhibition “Grow”. This exhibition coincides with the 2021 Newark Arts Festival, Oct 6-10.

Grow
Emerging through the cracks of adversity is an endeavor all on its own for an artist, even before the work begins. As plants adapt to the environment of concrete, so do the artists of Newark. Collectively—they all tell a story about how resilient the spirit is and how beautiful it shines through time of darkness. 

They showcase the unwavering strength over hardship and emerge to illustrate the inspirational metamorphosis of the city, flora is the chosen theme of this show as it serves to represent the parallels of artists and growth in an urban setting. As growth continues, not only do artists survive, artists thrive. 

Featuring works by:

Sally Helmi
Samantha Katehis
Monifa Kincaid
Cali Smith
Amanda Thackray

Also on view is solo exhibition, Crystal, featuring artwork by Trinidadian-American conceptual artist, Asha Ganpat.
