In this art exhibit, "Drag is Not a Crime," challenges societal norms and celebrates the vibrant world of drag as a form of self-expression and empowerment. Through a collection of visual artworks, fashion designs, photography, and performance pieces, the exhibit seeks to dismantle stereotypes and prejudice surrounding drag culture. It explores the history and resilience of drag artists who use their craft to break free from societal constraints. The exhibition invites viewers to question preconceived notions about gender, identity, and beauty, fostering a space where diversity is accepted and celebrated. With a blend of bold colors and powerful narratives, "Drag is Not a Crime" transcends the confines of traditional art spaces, inviting everyone to join in the celebration of authenticity and the freedom to be unapologetically oneself.
The Art of Storytelling
July 5 - September 29, 2024
Opening Reception: July 13, 1:00 - 3:00 PM
Storytelling is the interactive art of using words and active to reveal the elements and images of a story while encouraging the listener's imagination. Storytelling forges connections among people, and between people and ideas. Stories convey the culture, history, and values that unite people.
Artists have been using art to tell stories since the first caveman drew a hunter killing a mammoth on a cave wall. When religion became a core experience in more modern humans, we used art to bring to life stories in religious scripts. Stories can be told visually and artists use color, line, gesture, composition, and symbolism to tell a story. A picture does tell a thousand words.

Abhijeet Shrivastava
July 5 - September 29, 2024
Opening Reception: July 13, 1:00 - 3:00 PM
Hailing from the heart of India, Bhopal, where Abhijeet first kindled his profound passion for self-expression through charcoal drawings on paper, the exhibit will challenge perceptions. Charcoal, a time-honored and eco-conscious art medium once used to craft ancient cave drawings worldwide, has deeply inspired me. However, this traditional form of artistic expression is waning in today's fast-paced world, yielding to environmentally harmful alternatives emitting excessive carbon.
Driven by a mission to preserve this historic art form and champion sustainable artistry, his work balances environmental consciousness and visual serenity. Recognized through publications and exhibitions globally, now based in New York City, serving as a Climate Change and Sustainability Consultant. Abhijeet’s art aspires to awaken reverence for our environment and galvanize a shared commitment to safeguarding our planet for future generations.
