Art On The Ave presents our first exhibition in the iconic borough of Brooklyn curated by Jomani Danielle. The theme “Spread Love… (It’s The Brooklyn Way)” provides an opportunity for artists throughout the borough to seek love in their creative processes, to seek love in their everyday routines, to seek love in their neighborhoods and to seek love in their interactions with the people, their neighbors. After their search they can bring their spoils back to the community and share the wealth with the community through the art that fits this theme.

The exhibition invites viewers to engage with Nwadike’s reflections on inter-tribal and inter-racial interactions, spiritual influences, and the immigrant experience.
