‘The Women In Between’ Opening Reception | 6–9PM | FREE
Art Gallery • Free Refreshments • Meet the Artist
Exhibiting Artist: Boxx The Artist
The Women in Between is a portrait montage project by Boxx The Artist that examines local grass-roots trailblazers to provide recognition of the roles that many marginalized dark-skinned Black women play in society, and continue the conversations of equity and inclusion. Boxx focuses on the racial bias through the history of printmaking that inadequately captured dark complexions. She highlights portraits of underrepresented and influential dark-skinned Black women along the BIPOC and LGBTQ spectrum that have dwelled in the shadows. Through expressionistic portraiture, photography, and film this collection examines artistic expressions of women that have been impactful to the communities they serve(d), yet through their intersectionality, they have become the champions of their stories.
Join us in the Christel DeHaan ArtSpace at the Athenaeum to mix, mingle, and marvel at our monthly art series. First Friday is FREE for all ages, and the gallery space is free to visit during business hours 7 days a week (some exceptions apply). Our First Friday opening reception will feature complimentary refreshments, a cashless cash bar, and an opportunity to meet and speak with the exhibiting artist(s).
This event is FREE. Come as you are and enjoy the space!
