Emergence: Self Discovery from Flame to Form

A featured artist exhibition by ceramic artist Wendy Kusmaul Keeling. The artists utilizes various firing methods, including wood firing and gas reduction, alongside mixed media to create primitive and instinctual figures that delve into the central themes of the female journey. Emerging from recent loss and a rapidly changing world, her forms confront grief, trauma, and the need for protection, while striving toward self discovery, empowerment, and the reclamation of identity.

There is a special reception with the artist on September 21 from 4-6 pm.

Salon des Refusés 2024

In February 2024, the Brooklyn Museum announced an open call for artwork for an upcoming exhibition celebrating the institution’s 200th anniversary. Brooklyn-based artists were invited to submit artwork for consideration for "The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition.” In light of the many artists whose artwork was not selected for the Brooklyn Museum exhibition, BWAC is hosting a Salon des Refusés 2024 group exhibition to showcase some of these works. This exhibit will unite and uplift our artist community as well as complement the Brooklyn Museum show.
