Long Way Home: C. Finley

May 25 - September 3, 2023 Admission

In the colorful, experiential art of C. Finley, incandescent paintings designate sites for community, exhibitions are laboratories, and representational power is decentralized. Her art and public works produce the conditions needed to change our world, encouraging other artists to create alongside her in spaces defined by vibratory beauty where all are welcome to glimpse the utopia that is already present, that we need only lean into.

C. Finley, Founder and Curator of the Every Woman Biennial and director of the La MaMa Galleria is known for her elaborate paintings and intense use of color, monumental murals, multi-disciplinary collaborations, and her activism through urban art interventions, including her acclaimed Wallpapered Dumpsters.

As the creator of the 2014-2021 Every Woman Biennial she exhibited 1200 female and non-binary artists in New York, Los Angeles and London.

Finley has shown internationally and her work has been featured in the The New York Times, La Repubblica, Dazed, Fast Company, Women’s Wear Daily, LALA, and more.
