Gritty Rituals is an exhibition that joins three artists: Lauren Comito, John O’Connor, and Peter Schenck. Each artist brings an almost religious reverence to their imagery, but their laser focus is aimed squarely at distinctively secular iconography: the human figure, post consumer waste, advertisements, art history and text-based narratives that reflect life’s absurdity.
Harlem Sculpture Gardens, led by the West Harlem Art Fund & New York Artists Equity Association, is announcing its second call for outdoor sculpture, dance and sound art in West Harlem, New York City. The historic parks Morningside, St. Nicholas, and Jackie Robinson are the primary sites. They will work collaboratively with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, local community boards and various neighborhood groups.
Concrete Shadows is an exhibition by Ayesha Kamal Khan that toys with the transience of a place and its portability. It pokes fun at the inadequate transference of a place whose depth and breadth are impossible to fold, transport and translate in another context.

NYAE is excited to announce the continuation of the artists’ critique group that originally ran in Bushwick and reprised at NYAE in fall 2023. Sessions will be presented in person at Equity Gallery, 245 Broome St. NYC. Sherilyn Neidhardt will be returning as the key host and point person for the series. The critique format will adhere to previous models whereby the artist narrates a 10-image, nine minute, PowerPoint presentation of their work to a live audience followed by a five minute audience Q&A. All media are welcome so long as works are clearly represented in still images.
Interested participants need to send an email with a single paragraph artist statement and five – seven images to info@nyartistsequity.org with the subject line “transcender application”
June 26th Session applications are due EOD Mon. June 24th
Now on view at Equity Gallery is the 2022 annual New York Artists Equity Members Invitational Exhibition. Equity Gallery is the physical exhibition space of the New York Artists Equity Association (NYAE).
A genuine and organic appearance of a collective with shared aspirations is rare and never random. In this instance, no three artists could have come from more divergent backgrounds and yet their work converses on an intimate and formalist level with adjoining narratives and motives to be explored fore with.
