The Ark…And on Earth

The Avenue 50 Studio is proud to once again collaborate with the Violence Intervention Program Forensic Center and Community-based Assessment and Treatment Center at the LAC+USC Medical Center Outpatient Department.  This upcoming exhibit is in line with our goal of helping to create a welcoming and inviting space within the Clinic that reflects a comforting, engaging, humorous, or familiar theme and to use the “walls” as a space to sooth and engage the audience.  Our second objective is to utilize art to connect the LAC+USC campus with the community of artists and to our NELA neighborhood.  We are very proud to have been chosen to use art in the services of those who need it the most.

Please join us for

The Ark…And on Earth

The Avenue 50 Studio asked artists to visually discuss the parable regarding the Ark. If a great flood is a metaphor for our fears, how can we turn fear into happiness?  For our next exhibition at the VIP Clinic, artists will be presenting two portraits of animals they’d like to see on The Ark.  The animals, of course, represent security and love.  The second part of our exhibit…And On Earth will visually express solid ground representing the confidence we feel when fear is dispersed.
