THAW(IV) opens this Saturday March 14th from 6-9pm @attheyards
I started THAW in part because I felt strongly, as an artist, that there needed to be a space for artists in this town to do a little less cheerleading and a lot more critical engagement of the systems and powers that be. I wanted it to be a space for the many artists who do not feel a part of it and are trying to find their place in it. That mission felt more prescient than ever this year. I’m very grateful to The Yards for being, in my opinion, one of the only galleries in town that has the independence and the balls to host it. THAW has never been this raw before and I’m excited for you all to see what the artists made of it.
Erica Bryant is asking that folks bring non-perishable goods to the exhibition as a part of her installation, specifically rice and beans. These goods will go to refugees in our community impacted directly by ICE’s bullshit. We have chosen not to share the details of who and where because we do not want to put a target on anyone.
Allie Push has made hand printed postcards that anyone can use to write their congressperson and we are encouraging you all to do that right in the space
Many of the artists have elected to donate a portion or all of the profits from sales of their work to charities that are doing the work.
Come through this Saturday to be a part of this important statement from our local community of artists.
