Art & Expression: How & Why Artists Make Their Inner Worlds Visible

Art & Expression: How & Why Artists Make Their Inner Worlds Visible

Sat, May 16, 3:00 PM
From Women of Culture NYC
4.8

​**Presented in collaboration with [CuraArt](https://www.curaart.com/?utm_source=luma) during NYC Spring Art Week, this engaging panel conversation uses the work of Louisa Chase, featured in [Berry Campbell Gallery’s](https://berrycampbell.com/?utm_source=luma) current exhibition *The Eighties*, as a starting point for a broader discussion about art as a language of inner experience.** **[Advance Purchase Required here ](https://luma.com/artandexpression)***(unless you are already registered for the full [NYC Spring art week insider pass](https://luma.com/SpringArtWeekNYC), in which case, this event is included)* ​Artists do not simply depict what they see; they give form to what is felt, remembered, imagined, inherited, and questioned. Through gesture, color, composition, material, and symbol, artists translate emotion, identity, memory, and personal truth into visual form. ​Chase’s work, charged with psychological intensity and a sense of landscape as both external place and emotional terrain, opens up broader questions about how artists make the unseen visible. What drives artists to externalize their inner worlds? How do intuition, memory, vulnerability, and experimentation shape the creative process? And how do viewers encounter and interpret the emotional life embedded in a work of art? ​Moderated by **Shakira Polite**, the conversation will bring together **Larissa Bailiff, Amanda Garcia, and Schwanda Rountree** to explore how art becomes a space for self-revelation, connection, and discovery. ​Following the discussion, attendees are invited to join a curator-led walk-through of the exhibition. Guests may also continue the afternoon with a self-guided visit to surrounding Chelsea galleries; recommendations will be provided to registered guests. ​​*Coffee & light breakfast bites to be served.* ​​*Please note this event is already included for those who are participating in the [Spring Art Week in NYC Art-full Insider Experience](https://luma.com/SpringArtWeekNYC).* *** ​**Event flow:** ​**11am \|** Arrival, mingling & breakfast bites **11:30am** \| Panel with Q&A **12:15pm** \| Exhibition walk\-through **1pm** \| close \- option to continue on a self\-guided visit to neary Chelsea galleries \(*recommendations will be provided to registered guests)* ​**Location:** Berry Campbell Gallery, 524 W 26th St. **[Advance Registration Required here ](https://luma.com/artandexpression)***(unless you are already registered for the full [NYC Spring art week insider pass](https://luma.com/SpringArtWeekNYC), in which case, this event is included)* ​​ 🎟 **Tickets:** * ​FREE with RSVP for Art-full Members\* * ​$10 suggested ticket for non-members ​​Event is co-ed and open to all with an interest in art, community & culture. ​​*​\*Learn more about the Art-full membership and join [here](https://www.womenofculture.org/artfull-membership?utm_source=luma).* *** ​**More about the Exhibition**: *Louisa Chase: The Eighties* ​Marking the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery since announcing representation of her estate, this exhibition features paintings and works on paper from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, a pivotal and emotionally expressive period of Chase’s practice. This exhibition is be Chase’s largest and most comprehensive in New York City in over 25 years. **Note about tickets/ RSVP's:** * RSVPs on Meetup do NOT count as official registrations for this event, and the RSVP count on Meetup may not reflect the actual number of attendees. To attend, you must purchase a ticket, which guarantees your spot, regardless of whether you RSVP here. * All paid and confirmed attendees will receive an email from [[alex@womenofculture.org](mailto:alex@womenofculture.org)]([mailto:alex@womenofculture.org](http://mailto:alex@womenofculture.org/))] 1–2 days before the event with further details, including a link to a WhatsApp group for important updates.
