PIVOT, Community art exhibition and ARPA grant recipient, New London, Connecticut
A group of four local artists partnered with the Garde Arts Center in New London, Connecticut to deliver a community art exhibition and poetry reading in the wake of the COVID pandemic.
The aim of the project was to mount a professional show of New London artists at a downtown city venue, to partner with a local organization to accomplish this, to pay invited artists to participate, to create a new network of connected artists, to expose these artists to new audiences, opportunities and sales, to (re)connect artists to the larger community and the hosting organization/venue, host related events during the exhibition.
This project was made possible with funded, in-kind contributions and non-financial support by ARPA, New London Cultural District, Southeastern Cultural Coalition, Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut and Garde Arts Center.
