WALL\THERAPY Co-Curator and RIT alumni Erich S. Lehman is curating a second ten year anniversary group show, this time at RIT’s new City Art Space located in downtown Rochester. This show will feature 10 artists from his 1975 Gallery project as well as 10 artists from WALL\THERAPY’s history so far.

A list of the artists in attendance will be shared closer to the opening.

JUST FOLKS
Ten Years of 1975 and WALL\THERAPY Curation

March 1-23, 2019
Opening Reception March 1, 6-9pm
Artist Talk to follow

Free and open to the public

A companion exhibition to DEARLY DEPARTED – Ten Years of 1975 in October 2018, JUST FOLKS is a more formal retrospective of the influence of 1975 Gallery on Rochester, NY’s art scene since its inception in 2008. Among the selected artists is a group who grew/came of age with the gallery and emerged as names in their own right in Rochester and beyond. Overlapping with this is a selection of artists who participated in the WALL\THERAPY mural project whose impact on Rochester is seen on a daily basis. The artists selected represent important elements of 1975 curation over the last ten years.

“Just Folks” is a phrase coined between the curators of WALL\THERAPY to describe the power of the average person to make an incredible difference in their community. We are living in a time when it is essential to realize the common vein between us all and the capacity for great change that we share.

A percentage of all artwork sales will be donated to the WALL\THERAPY project.
