ABOUT THE 17TH OPEN HOUSE NEW YORK WEEKEND -
Each October, Open House New York Weekend unlocks the doors to New York’s most important buildings, offering an extraordinary opportunity to experience the city and meet the people who design, build, and preserve New York. From colonial to contemporary, residential to industrial, hundreds of sites across the five boroughs are open to visit, with tours, talks, performances and other special events taking place over the course of the weekend. Through the unparalleled access that it enables, OHNY Weekend deepens our understanding of the importance of architecture and urban design to fostering a more vibrant civic life and helps catalyze a citywide conversation about how to build a better New York.

Opening tonight! EVOLUTION: Forging Forward, a group exhibition curated by @am_nyc 6-10pm at The Andrew Freedman Home. Evolution chronicles the progression of women artists with roots in graffiti, street art and/or hip hop culture who have flourished.
For many of these women, the journey from dangerous and frowned-upon street art to what is now a high-demand marketplace for artists of their stature; has been multi-faceted and hard won. Empowered by communal and individual pursuits, challenges and transformations; Their work reveals an evolution in style and substance, along with a continued reverence for the vibrant subculture from which they come.

EVOLUTION, opening this Friday 6-10pm at The Andrew Freedman Home! 1125 Grand Concourse, Bronx NY. #Repost @am_nyc ・・・
Next Friday!!!! So incredibly excited to present these women @afhbronx - this is going to be BIG!!! Bronx, New York - Curated by Alice Mizrachi, Evolution chronicles the progression of women artists with roots in graffiti, street art and/or hip hop culture who have flourished across decades. On view from October 11 - November 30, 2019 at the Andrew Freedman Home located at 1125 Grand Concourse in the Bronx, New York, the exhibition is a rare opportunity to view the work of a highly celebrated group of women artists in one venue.
Participating artists include: legends Lady Pink and Martha Cooper; New York mainstays Indie 184, Queen Andrea, Erotica and Jenevieve; pioneers Jane Dickson and Janette Beckman; international icons Miss Van (France), Vexta (Australia), Imagine (Nepal), Pau Quintanajornet (Chile/Germany) and Herakut (Germany); Chicana artist Nani Chacon (Dine/ Navajo) /; photographer/writer Diana McClure and interdisciplinary artist Lady K-Fever; community-based artist Sarah C.

The journey from dangerous and frowned-upon street art to a high-demand marketplace for artists of their stature has been multi-faceted and hard won by many of these artists. Empowered by communal and individual pursuits, as well as challenges and transformations, their work reveals an evolution in style and substance, along with a continued reverence for the vibrant subculture from which they come.
The exhibition includes sculpture, painting, mixed media, and photography as well as each artist’s thoughts on the meaning of Evolution in their own lives. Several of the artists have collaborated on projects and exhibitions over many years, at home and abroad, developing a sense of community, support and camaraderie. The exhibition will be documented in a catalog, available at the Andrew Freedman Home. #womenartists #evolution #womenwhorock #graffwomen #forgingforward #pastpresentfuture design by @skinztagram
