Join us in celebrating the opening of an exciting art exhibition In Our Corner: Exchanges in the Asian American Art Movements and Beyond at Chinatown!Studio (1 Pike St).

On view through March 2025, In Our Corner explores the personal and professional support that artists of Asian descent received during and after the Asian American Art Movements. This companion exhibition to Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001) at New York University’s 80WSE Gallery, invites five artists of the three key art collectives and organizations featured in Legacies to show alongside five non-Asian American artists who supported their work and growth over the years. These relationships range from recently made friendships to lifelong partnerships and even marriage: Kathleen Foster joins Ching Ming Cheung; Charles Luce joins Helen Oji; Howardena Pindell joins Arlan Huang; Shellyne Rodriguez joins Tomie Arai; and Arleen Schloss joins Nina Kuo. Through interviews and writings from the artists, In Our Corner highlights these bonds and explores how artist collectives/organizations intersected and fostered connections.
