Freedom Dreams BIPOC Arts Showcase

AJ Williams-Myers African Roots Center alongside Rise Up Kingston and Celebrate 845 present: “Freedom Dreams” | Saturday, June 5 - 27, 2021 | Arts Society of Kingston (ASK), 97 Broadway in Kingston, NY. 

Starting Saturday, June 5 at 1PM, AJ Williams-Myers African Roots Center alongside Rise Up Kingston and Celebrate 845 presents “Freedom Dreams”, an artistic Salon Show featuring BIPOC creatives living or working in New York's Hudson Valley at the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK).

The show's title “Freedom Dreams” was inspired by Dr. Robin Kelly’s book, Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination. Kelly writes “Without new visions, we don’t know what to build, only what to knock down. We not only end up confused, rudderless, and cynical, but we forget that making a revolution is not a series of clever maneuvers and tactics, but a process that can and must transform us” thus, we have invited artists to dream up their own world where freedom is at the center of revolution. 

The salon-style show will feature both visual and performing artists and will run for 4 weeks at Arts Society of Kingston in Kingston, New York and will also be on view online at http://www.askforarts.org/online-galleries/ . Admission is always free. The online reception will be on June 5th at 4pm via Zoom and shared on the ASK Facebook page. ASK's galleries are open to the public Tuesdays-Sundays, 1-6pm.
