On view at The Peale (225 Holiday St) from Saturday, April 1–Sunday, April 30, 2023, SOLACE features all Black womxn artists from a variety of disciplines. The works of the invited artists bestow feelings of peace, humor, and healing by displaying personal moments of affirmative triumph. A reception will take place Saturday, April 1, 2023.

SOLACE is the culmination of self-love as experienced by Black womxn. Through artworks, programs, and resources, this project demonstrates that all art, regardless of form, can represent the ever-present mission of SOLACE: prioritizing trust, reciprocity, and support. For BIPOC women and non-binary artists, it is often hard to find a safe and accessible space to have conversations about mental wellness and self-care. Mental health is more than just mental illness, and self-care is deeper than a bubble bath.

SOLACE is curated by MICA Curatorial Practice MFA student Cheyene Adams (‘23).
