Threads in Time brings together the work of Ann Street Gallery 2024 Emerging Artist Fellows Matthew Gilbert, Nicole Hixon, and Zeinab Manesh, whose sculptures and installations interweave representations of past, present, and future to connect individual identity and cultural heritage across eras. In a world marked by division and displacement, the artists’ reflections on isolation, belonging, and transformation encourage us to consider the legacies we leave behind and the ways in which art can both preserve and reshape our understanding of the world...

Ann Street Gallery is proud to support artists with experimental practices within the visual arts, performance, and interdisciplinary practice as an essential part of Ann Street Gallery’s program and mission. The Fellowship places special emphasis on artists exploring narratives aside or sub-current to those formally acknowledged by art historians, especially practices that foster an active exchange with local organizations and communities, or are rooted in exploring aspects of place, history, or non-dominant cultural competencies and practices...

Back and Forth, Between Names is a group exhibition exploring the pervious boundaries and shifting identities of bodies comprised of water. Works across media invite viewers to consider water as material, collaborator, place, and metaphor, communicating water’s agency and animacy in its fluidity and similitude between human and nonhuman bodies. Engaging the poetics of water, the exhibition seeks places where language loosens its grip on the knowable, conjuring bodies in, of, and as water...

From the Ground UP activates the gallery with a series of events amidst an evolving installation by Ann Street Gallery Artist Researcher in Residence, Jean-Marc Superville Sovak.

Project Directory
From the Ground UP is hosted by Ann Street Gallery and consists of three fluid project phases. The first phase launches in October 2023 with a series of community gatherings, presentations, and events extending through February 2024.
The second phase of the project transforms the Gallery space into a lab, workshop, and exhibition space for Superville Sovak’s research, his socially engaged art practice, his creative output, and the display and performance of commissioned works from other interdisciplinary artists and cultural producers.
The third phase of the project includes creating digital and analog archives of the project to record the public’s interactions, the artist’s research and process, documentation of events, and the developments of the project in the form of a website and printed materials. The project archives aim to serve as a model for collective forms of memorialization, a resource, and a symbolic form of restorative justice for the City of Newburgh...

Re:Manifest as conceived by the 2023 Ann Street Gallery Emerging Artist Fellows aims to challenge romanticized histories of the United States and make evident the artists’ voices, stories, and visions. The works in Re:Manifest exhibit (re-)emergences of cultural identity informed by the nuanced perspectives of the Fellowship cohort and how they identify their personal lineages. Through their fellowships Rachel Olivia Berg (Mnicoujou Lakota), Michelle Corporan (Afro Caribbean, Spanish, and Japanese lineages), and Shani Richards (Afro-American) unearth historical events, honor their ancestors, and explore places in the Hudson Valley to reclaim narratives that have been overlooked, forgotten, or ignored...

Listening to Land is a group exhibition exploring practices of listening in relation to place and the place-making potential of creative acts of listening, wherein to land is a verb, and listening provides a point of ingress. Artists in the exhibition use storytelling, jam-making, woodworking, basketry, mapping, lenses, microphones, speakers, and other technologies to heighten our ability to relate to our surroundings and other beings, and to extend our capacity to perceive beyond what is visible or knowable in the landscape...
