Warwick exhibition celebrates emerging artists

Posted

The Warwick Center for the Arts will host an exhibition focused on emerging talents titled New Voices: The Next Generation of Rhode Island Artists from Jan. 22 to Feb. 15. The show, which includes 50 works in a range of media by more than 20 local artists, was conceived and curated by Providence-based gallerist and writer Michael Rose. The exhibition will include a potluck reception and celebration on Feb. 6 from 6 to 8pm.

On view in WCFA’s gallery in the historic Kentish Armory at 3259 Post Road, New Voices features talented local makers in the exciting early stages of their careers. Exhibiting artists include Sylvia Atwood, Kannetha Brown, Harry Cassell, Jenna Clouse, Mia Cross, Mollee Daniels, Sydney Darrow, Leia Fifer, Fu’una, Prinshu Gautam, Emily Gray, Kit Grindeland, Michael Gunn, Naylea Hernández, Caterina Maina, Khalil McKnight, Madeline Menkes, Gabrielle Patrone, Ashley Pelletier and Rebecca Pry.

Artworks include objects in an enticing and inventive range of media from paintings, drawings, and photographs, to assemblage, ceramics, and installation. Pieces in the show exemplify the varied personal experiences of their creators and share the broad interests and concerns of emerging talents in the local art community.

Speaking of the exhibition, organizer Michael Rose says, “Our state has a vibrant arts community and there are so many exceptional younger and emerging artists who deserve attention alongside their more established peers. I hope this show serves as a platform for Rhode Islanders to explore work by these makers and a prompt to create new connections.”

The exhibition will include a potluck style reception Thursday, Feb. 6 from 6 to 8pm. This free event is open to all, with attendees encouraged to bring food and beverage to share. Reflecting on the event, Rose said, “I hope artists and art enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds from across Rhode Island will come to Warwick on the 6th to join us for a celebration. Receptions are great opportunities to connect one-on-one with artists and most of those featured in New Voices will be in attendance.”

New Voices: The Next Generation of Rhode Island Artists will continue through Feb. 15.

The Warwick Center for the Arts has been uniting the community through art for 50 years. The center is located at 3259 Post Road in Warwick, and its gallery is free and open to the public 11am - 3pm Wednesdays through Saturdays. Learn more about WCFA and plan your visit at www.warwickcfa.org.
