Beacon, N.Y. – Super Secret Project's January Community Group show. "Visual Memoirs: Portraits, Self-Portraits, and Selfies" will showcase work by local Hudson Valley artists. This exhibition aims to celebrate the talent and diversity of the local art community while providing artists a platform to display their work.
Visual Memoirs: Portraits, Self-Portraits, and Selfies is a curated group show of work that explores the art of portraiture. These artistic interpretations contribute to a rich narrative that explores the nuances of portrait work. Join us in celebrating the diverse tapestry of human experiences!
This exhibition was curated through an Open Call by Diana Vidal, co-director of Super Secret Projects and Darya Golubina, a founding member of our collective. Diana Vidal is a Dominican, multimedia artist whose work delves into the realms of time, memory, and shared experiences. Darya Golubina graduated from the School of Visual Arts, and while her preferred medium is oil paint or graphite, she splits her time between her painting studio and the photography studio she heads in NYC. Darya is the director of the Beacon Open Studios Organization.
Chosen works will be on display at the Super Secret Project speakeasy styled gallery, located at 484 Main St, Beacon NY, behind the Hyperbole shop.
