DESCRIPTION:\n17th annual exhibition CURATED BY ANDREA ARROYO\n\n\n\nFebruary 25 – April 24, 2026 \n\n\n\nARTIST TALK THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 6-8pm RSVP\n\n\n\nNoMAA Gallery 4140 Broadway (176 St)Gallery hours are Saturdays 1-5 (excluding holidays) or by appointment.

In every culture and community, shade carries layered meanings: it can offer refuge or concealment, protection or defiance, acceptance, or rejection.\n\n\n\nFrom throwing shade to sheltering in shade, from colorism in race to color range in art, shade speaks to power, presence, and the unseen forces that shape how we move through the world.\n\n\n\nHow does shade define visibility? How do we navigate the tension between exposure and cover, clarity and ambiguity, belonging and otherness?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRICE LIST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRose Deler\nYou Have to be Taught, 2026\nAcrylic stain on canvas\n12" × 10" × 5"\nYael Ben-Zion\nZebras (from the project INTERMARRIED)\n2012\nC-print\n20" x 20"\nKat Gooch-Breault\nHow We Prevail, 2026\nAcrylic on panel\n24" x 36" x 2.5"\nKathleen Sweeney\nSolar Power Series: West, 2023\nPhotograph, archival Giclée print\n33" x 23"\nAlison Hamilton\nBrother for the Blues, 2024\nAcrylic on canvas\n16" x 20"\nMargo Moore\nYellow Study, 2026\nOil on canvas\n48" x 36"\nDale Emmart\nUrban Smoke, 2020\nInk and gouache on paper\n22" x 30"\nFlor Khan\nChisme, 2026\nMixed media\n20" x 20"\nThe piece examines migration, womanhood, \nand the quiet ways stories are carried. \nCarolina Jimenez\nAMBRILLA, 2026\nLaser cut wooden frame, archival print\n17" x 18" x 1"\nJanet Stewart\nPeople United by Cause, 2021\nAcrylic on masonite\n18" x 24"\nSusan Rubin\nRoxanne, 2023\nGiclee with hand added pigments\non archival paper\n20” x 20”\nYumi Rodriguez\nAxis Mundi, 2023\nMixed media, primarily handmade \nwatercolor paint, on fabric\n48" x 72"\nMade largely with recyclable materials and handmade pigments derived from plants and food waste, this painting emerged during a period of climate policy work in Cartagena, Colombia, following an encounter with an ancient ficus tree.
