This group show conceived by Jamaal Eversley, and co-curated by Eversley and Christine O’Donnell, will offer a chance to meet new emerging artists through collaborative and solo works. 

Artists presented include: 

Stephanie Ayotte - textile

Beyond the concept of demonstrating the power and strength of friendship, Real F.R.I.E.N.D.S also aims to give a cheeky look “behind the scenes” of putting an art show together. From its live painting demonstrations to the documentation of the show, this show aims to demonstrate that the best relationships are ones built on trust and understanding – with a touch of humor, playfulness, and flexibility thrown in.
