A Future We Can Vibe With / An Art Show & Fundraiser

August 12th-18th, 2017
Opening Reception: August 12th, 7-10 PM

Gowanus Print Lab
54 2nd Ave
Brooklyn NY 11215

A FUTURE WE CAN VIBE WITH is an alternative picture of the future. It is an exhibit that welcomes positive futurists to toss our typically dystopic visions to the side to bring about a more harmonious future in the present. It challenges popular post apocalyptic narratives that set humanity on a course towards environmental devastation and totalitarianism. We fear a future where greed, warmongering, and artificial intelligence doom humanity to its grave. But what if, we can create a future where people can relearn how to live with one another in the world? What if technology could enhance our ability to thrive without the exploitation of people or resources? What if the true grace of humanity has yet to be revealed?

Artists have generously donated paintings, drawings, prints and zines that will be sold for charity. Proceeds will go to Global Greengrants Fund, an organization that mobilizes resources for communities worldwide to protect our shared planet and work toward a more equitable world. The end result is to raise money for environmental awareness and to involve artists directly in causing a better future. Through creating a piece, each artist will also be an author of change.

This event is cash-and-carry, which means that art can be bought and taken home for the price of your donation. Any work bought during the show can be picked up after 9 PM on opening night, or at Gowanus Print Lab before de-installation.
