“We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.” — Gwendolyn Brooks, in tribute to Paul Robeson
vignette and Studio 616 NYC are pleased to announce the group exhibition Harvest: The Art of Standing Together. On view from June 20-22, 2025 at 616 E 9th St, New York, NY 10009, this dynamic exhibition features 16 New York-based artists whose backgrounds span academic training, self-directed practice, and careers in education and community engagement. Together, their work reflects a shared commitment to creativity, solidarity, and collective expression, inviting people with divergent opinions, perspectives, and life experiences to find ways to connect and embrace their differences through art.
From envisioning fantastical futures built from the wreckage of crisis, to honoring the resilience embedded in tradition and craft, the artists featured in Harvest: The Art of Standing Together collectively explore how connection, whether inherited, imagined, or newly formed, can be a radical act of survival and solidarity. Through layered symbolism, tactile expression, and poetic abstraction, the artworks invite viewers to sit with uncertainty, to celebrate the overlooked, and to confront the illusions of clarity and progress. Whether through acts of remembrance, resistance, or renewal, the exhibition asks: what does it mean to stand together when the ground beneath us is shifting? In navigating grief, chaos, and dislocation, Harvest becomes a call to feel, to reflect, and to reimagine the power of collective care and shared futures.
Harvest: The Art of Standing Together includes work by Anastasia Lopoukhine, Andrea Luper, Celine Lam, Duwenavue Johnson, Ismene Roque, Kathryn Murray, Lindsay Lieber, Magali, A Cult, Maya Ciarrocchi, Nikita Seleznev, Piper Grant, Scott Sherman, Sefa Ozdogan, Serena Buschi, Sierra Orosco, and William Gary.
After meeting in the Fall of 2024, and realizing their common vision of supporting visual artists with a focus on community-building, Studio 616 NYC & vignette decided to collaborate on a group show, in response to the current social climate. vignette is a creative initiative founded by Sophie Collinet that aims to create environments where early-career visual artists can connect directly with their intended audience. Studio 616 NYC is a creative space in the East Village of New York City with the intent of bringing artists and audiences together to engage and share thoughts and experiences.
