The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) launches its 2025 art season on April 26 with four new exhibitions. The 'Animalia' show features art inspired by humanity's longstanding fascination with animals, dating back to ancient cave paintings. 'Threaded Visions: Fashion in Art' highlights the connection between fashion and art, emphasizing cultural identity and evolution. The BWAC member exhibition 'Order/Chaos' examines the tension between these seemingly opposing concepts, showcasing how they coexist. The event also includes a cat adoption by NYC Teens for Animals, Inc. on May 4, combining art with community engagement.
Alicia Degener, BWAC President, stated, "We are excited to open our 2025 art season with four new exhibitions. We hope everyone comes to see these remarkable shows in a remarkable place."
The 'Animalia' show highlights humanity's long-standing obsession with animals, illustrated by the earliest known abstract art of pigs in Indonesian caves, affirming a 45,000-year-old fascination.
'Threaded Visions: Fashion in Art' explores the intricate dialogue between fashion and art, showcasing how both reflect and influence culture, identity, and historical context.
The 'Order/Chaos' exhibition invites BWAC artists to explore their interpretations of these intertwined concepts, emphasizing that order and chaos depend upon one another for their meaning.
