Lavett Ballard views her art as a re-imagined visual narrative of people of African descent. Her use of imagery reflects social issues affecting primarily Black women’s stories within a historical context. For her show at Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum, Lavett is creating new works that will represent and amplify African folklore and tribal stories told from a Black woman’s perspective.

ARTIST AS ACTIVIST
New Jersey State Council on the Arts
2025 New Jersey Arts Annual Exhibition
June 7th, 2025 - August 2nd, 2025
Reception: Saturday June 7th, 4 - 7 pm
301 High Street Gallery

The theme for the Arts Annual 2025 will be Artist as Activist and we will request work that reflects artistic thoughts and responses to that concept. Artist as Activist is an artist who harnesses the power of creativity to inspire social and political action. Unlike traditional activism that primarily uses direct action or advocacy, artists engage in activism through various forms. In this case visual art. They use their work to challenge norms, raise awareness about issues, and inspire audiences to think critically about the world around them. Call for entry now closed.

The Sister Chapel was conceived in 1974 as a monumental “hall of fame” in which women’s achievements would be presented from a female perspective. The artists collectively established uniform dimensions for the figure paintings and agreed that each canvas would depict a standing female “role model.” The particular subject and manner of execution were left entirely to the creator of each painting. Diverse contemporary and historical women, deities, and conceptual figures populate the all-female pantheon of The Sister Chapel.

CASE Gallery is closed for renovations. Please check back for reopening information.
