4. Art in Focus at Rockefeller Center
New York-based artist Melissa Joseph presents her first art exhibition at Rockefeller Center through the Art in Focus program. Raised in an Indian/American household, Joseph’s art mirrors her cultural heritage. She uses textile art to weave together a heartfelt narrative about the importance of POC representation and underrepresented voices in marginalized communities. The exhibition on view at the Rink Level of 45 Rockefeller Plaza will feature a 125-foot display of curated works by Joseph. The pieces featured include needle-felted wool emblazoned with imagery of intimate aspects of the artist’s life displayed along the walls like a series of family portraits. Joseph’s presentation can be viewed at 10 Rockefeller Plaza, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, 50 Rockefeller Plaza, and Radio Park.
Joseph will also host a free Art Sundae children’s workshop at Rockefeller Center where participants can create their own art alongside the artist and have their work included in a window installation. Joseph’s Art In Focus will be on view through April 19.
