Clintel Steed, “The couple that holds a piece of time”
Clintel Steed’s students report that he urges them to “paint your truth.” It’s an approach that he himself follows, but Steed’s truth, as a visually sophisticated Black man in the United States, is complicated.
Launching in Spring 2024, the Harlem Sculpture Gardens is a groundbreaking initiative transforming historical Morningside, St. Nicholas, and Jackie Robinson parks into a vibrant exhibition space. In collaboration with the West Harlem Art Fund and New York Artist Equity Association, we bring sculpture, dance, and sound art to the heart of Harlem, celebrating its rich cultural tapestry. Harlem Sculpture Gardens is a collaboration between the West Harlem Art Fund, Equity Gallery, and various other organizations.
The New York Artists Equity Association (NYAE) and the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum (WAAM) have a shared history that dates to their respective foundings as artist associations. Many early NYAE members summered in Woodstock and nearby communities and were WAAM members. Given this shared history, WAAM and NYAE are staging member exchange shows; during the above dates WAAM artists will show at NYAE. NYAE artists are showing at WAAM’s Woodstock location from April 19 to June 2, 2024.

Dario Mohr, "The Hero's Journey Polyptych"
Dario Mohr is a first generation Grenadian, U.S. Citizen with West African and Italian heritage, born in 1988. Based in New York City, Mohr is an interdisciplinary artist, educator and non profit leader. His work involves the creation of “sacred spaces” referencing his heritage, and expressing commentary on the cultural zeitgeist through immersive sanctuary experiences.
Mary Flinn, “Watching a dream”
The paintings in ‘Twelve Petals’ are figurative with a storytelling quality. The images are found during the process and do not necessarily referring to a specific myth or story. Rather, Mary uses brushes, stamps, stencils and paper towels to find inventive surfaces and illusions. In this way the image is intuitively discovered.
NYAE is excited to announce the continuation of the artists’ critique group that originally ran in Bushwick and reprised at NYAE in fall 2023. Sessions will be presented in person at Equity Gallery, 245 Broome St. NYC. Sherilyn Neidhardt will be returning as the key host and point person for the series. The critique format will adhere to previous models whereby the artist narrates a 10-image, nine minute, PowerPoint presentation of their work to a live audience followed by a five minute audience Q&A. All media are welcome so long as works are clearly represented in still images.
Interested participants need to send an email with a single paragraph artist statement and five – seven images to info@nyartistsequity.org with the subject line “transcender application”
April 24th Session applications are due EOD Mon. April 22nd
Now on view at Equity Gallery is the 2022 annual New York Artists Equity Members Invitational Exhibition. Equity Gallery is the physical exhibition space of the New York Artists Equity Association (NYAE).
A genuine and organic appearance of a collective with shared aspirations is rare and never random. In this instance, no three artists could have come from more divergent backgrounds and yet their work converses on an intimate and formalist level with adjoining narratives and motives to be explored fore with.
