Midwives Collective seeking new members.

Our friends and neighbors at The Midwives collective are seeking new members. They have an awesome space at 1241 Carpenter Street. The Midwives Collective & Gallery is a women’s collective formed for the purpose of fostering community art making, culture, and the creation of art history by maintaining a public arena for the display and practice of innovative emerging art. In addition to sometimes showing our own works, we orchestrate open-call shows to provide support and exposure for emerging artists and encourage innovation, risk, and exploration in the arts.

Cynthia Groya’s new Acrylic Abstractions and Large Mixed Media Oil Paintings of Ancient Greek and Contemporary New York Calligraphic Currents. Groya, who exhibits widely and taught for years in Yardley, devised a method of applying pigment to canvas that does not rely on brushes.

A.K. Burns & Katherine Hubbard The Brown Bear: Neither Particular, Nor General

Check out this participatory, performance installation. An investigation of appearance and self.

In the artists words:
Leading with the question, what does it look like?, describing it is pivotal to formulating a response. It is The Brown Bear, a queer experience, the experience of ʻpacking vagʼ, of being hirsute. For us, it is personal. This kind of personal is political, and this salon provides a space for the political to be public.
