NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program
In/Between Exhibition
New York Live Arts, in partnership with New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), presents the 6th In/Between exhibition, featuring works by artists in the Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program.
Co-curated by Yanira Castro, Martita Abril, and Zahra Banyamerian, the exhibition will be on view at the Ford Foundation Live Gallery located in Live Arts Lobby.
Initiated in 2019 by artist Yanira Castro as part of her Live Feed residency at New York Live Arts, In/Between is an annual immigrant artist group exhibition originally created by artists Yanira Castro, Martita Abril, and Poppy DeltaDawn. The exhibition features and supports participants of NYFA’s Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program. The name In/Between reflects on the multiplicity of immigrant artists’ experiences, identities, practices, and politics, while also speaking to the liminal experience of home/residence/community.
The mentoring program pairs immigrant artists with mentors who guide them to achieve specific career goals while providing them with broader access to the New York cultural world. It brings mentees together with mentors as well as other program participants to navigate their shared experiences and the challenges of being an immigrant artist. Artists and details for this year’s group show to be announced later this spring.
