Guest Artist
Armisey Smith
Armisey expounds on drawing by moving from the mechanical act of observation to the spiritual act of witnessing. For Armisey Smith, the difference between “looking” and “seeing deeply” is the difference between a surface-level sketch and a profound interaction between objects and people to breathe meaning into the work.
The Program
Each Monday from February to April, PRG will host Drop-In Drawing Sessions. This program is part of The Drawing Room initiative – which is inspired by historic drawing rooms—short for “withdrawing room”—this installation transforms the gallery into a contemporary space for reflection, conversation, and creative exchange. Rooted in social sculpture – art shaped through collective participation. Drawing Room bridges campus and community where the art studio meets the luxury living space.
Location:
Hahnes Building, Paul Robeson Galleries @ Express Newark, Room #307 Main Gallery.
