SUMMARY:DIVERSE. Poetics of Nature.
DESCRIPTION:“Diverse. Poetics of Nature is an exhibition that reveals my enormous admiration and respect for nature\, for its intuitive and spontaneous frankness. In times when everything tends to be the result of a construction: images\, what we say\, perceptions… the only thing that remains real and true\, is nature.” \n Jeannette Betancourt

SUMMARY:(UN)censored
DESCRIPTION:ARTISTS FIGHT BACK AFTER CANCELLATION OF ART EXHIBIT AT UN HEADQUARTERS\nCommunity rallies around women’s rights exhibition; now open in Brooklyn as a symbol of resistance\nExhibition title: “(UN)censored”\n630 Flushing Ave\, Brooklyn\, NY \nOpening hours – RSVP required: artefleur@gmail.com\nMarch 12\, 1-3:30pm\nMarch 13\, 1-3:30pm\nMarch 19\, 1-4pm\nMarch 20\, 1-4pm\nMarch 22\, 11am-4pm (before the public reception) \nCLOSING RECEPTION: March 22\, 4-8pm \nNew York\, NY – March 2\, 2025 – Just weeks before its scheduled debut at United Nations Headquarters\, “Rules\, Responsibilities\, Restraints: Women’s Pursuit of Equity\,” an exhibition about women’s labor and rights—was unexpectedly stripped of its previously secured endorsement from the European Union Delegation. This was not a financial sponsorship\, but an official endorsement—a necessary requirement for the exhibition to be shown at UNHQ. Without this backing\, the exhibition\, which was meant to be displayed in the highly visible UNHQ Visitors’ Lobby\, was shut down. “This decision takes away a chance to bring global attention to human rights\, artistic expression\, and freedom of speech\,” says Sawyer Rose\, an artist with works in this exhibit. \nWith their UNHQ exhibition silenced\, Rose and Fleur Spolidor\, a French artist with paintings in the exhibition\, raced to find a new venue in New York City—at the very moment these conversations should have been front and center. Refusing to let their work be censored\, the community rallied behind Spolidor and Rose to make sure the exhibition found a platform where it could be seen and heard. In response to the situation\, they have rebranded the exhibition as “(UN)censored\,” a powerful statement against the suppression of free speech and challenging artistic work. \nThe exhibition\, featuring work by American sculptor Rose (The Carrying Stones Project) and French painter Spolidor (The Swimsuits Series)\, was set to open alongside the 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) and the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration on women’s rights—a moment meant to celebrate progress toward gender equity. Yet\, in a striking contradiction\, the EU Delegation pulled its endorsement just two weeks before opening\, citing the ‘challenging global context.’ \n“It’s getting harder to have honest conversations about equity and human rights\,” Rose says. “If even an exhibition about women’s labor and rights is considered too risky\, that tells you everything. These are exactly the kinds of discussions we should be putting front and center\, not shutting down.” \n“This is beyond frustrating\,” Spolidor says. “Nothing about our exhibition has changed since it was first approved. We spent years planning this\, got our endorsement\, followed every rule—then\, at the last minute\, it’s pulled. This isn’t just about our work being canceled; it’s about who gets to have a voice in these spaces. If art can’t challenge people\, what is it for?” \n——————————\nThe Bigger Picture: Art\, Politics\, and Free Expression\nThe artists are also calling on journalists\, arts organizations\, and advocacy groups to help amplify this story and raise awareness about the growing restrictions on artistic expression in today’s political climate. With the NEA directing more 2025 grant funding toward projects celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary\, and recent shifts in the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts’ board under the current administration\, the arts are increasingly being shaped by political influence. \nThese developments highlight a troubling trend: the narrowing of creative spaces where freedom of speech and artistic expression can thrive. \n“The cancellation of this exhibition is part of a much larger fight for artistic freedom\,” Spolidor says. “When art that challenges the status quo is silenced\, it’s not just the artists who lose—it’s all of us.” \n—————————— \nHow You Can Help \nPress & Media: Journalists interested in covering this story can contact us for interviews\, images\, and additional details. \nAdvocacy & Outreach: If you work with a museum\, nonprofit\, or advocacy group that supports artistic freedom\, we’d love to connect. \nFor all inquiries\, contact:\nsawyer@sawyerrose.com  |  415-806-2458\nMore information: artforwomensequity.com\n\n——————————\n\nAbout the Team \nFleur Spolidor is a French painter whose work explores themes of women’s rights\, its history\, and cultural representations. The Swimsuits Series is a visual representation of the surreal challenges that women face in society. \nSawyer Rose is an American sculptor and activist recognized for The Carrying Stones Project\, a body of work that blends sculpture with data visualization to highlight the disproportionate labor burdens placed on women. \nKaren M. Gutfreund is the Curatorial Producer of “(UN)censored.” An artist and curator with a focus on “Art as Activism.” Gutfreund has created more than forty-five national exhibitions with self-identified women artists\, on feminist and social justice themes.

SUMMARY:Divergence of Three:  Exhibiting Artists Marcie Gill-Kinast\, Kelly Nicola Chiovitti\, and Priscilla Roggenkamp
DESCRIPTION:In a variety of media that includes drawing\, painting\, collage\, gouache\, fiber art\, painting\, and collography\, three artists are coming together to create an exhibit that unifies with serendipity on themes of nature\, fascination\, and protection. \nMarcie Gill-Kinast says\, “In this series\, all elements originate in natural forms\, but become more intensified\, morphing in shape\, scale and color. Thought and spirit create an unexpected grammar of expression. This ongoing series is\, at its essence\, rooted in the power of nature over man. Technically\, this also provides an opportunity to experiment with and expand on color relationships and theory. I have found that gouaches gives me a great deal of flexibility in this exploration as well as providing me with a less toxic work environment while figuratively exploring the different toxicities that exist in our world. \nKelly Nicola Chiovitti’s artwork is centered on capturing the wild and untamed qualities of nature\, with a particular focus on the delicate shapes of flowers. Through her drawings\, she explores the intricate lines and textures found in the natural world\, expressing her belief that beauty can be found in even the smallest and most overlooked details. Working primarily with graphite and ink pens\, Kelly’s style brings a sense of simplicity and appreciation to the natural forms she studies. Sustainability is a key principle in Kelly’s practice. \nPriscilla Roggenkamp says\, “Textiles are my ‘jam’ so to speak. As an art material they are ripe with content. They reflect our collective experience of wearing\, touching\, and desiring cloth. Clothing denotes personhood\, and labor status. It calls to our memories\, and oh so many things about ourselves and our culture. Aesthetically textiles speak of the tactile\, the sensual and the sculptural.” Roggenkamp’s work touches on themes of mythical stories\, identity\, relations to our planet\, immigration\, and family. \nJoin us to look closely at this intricate exhibit. \nMonday – Friday 10am ish – 6pm\nSaturday 11am – 3pm\nClosed first Saturday of the month\nClosed on Sundays
