New Program!

As we embrace social distancing, and look for creative ways to share art and inspiration, CAA is launching a series of Virtual Studio visits. We will host these visits via ZOOM, allowing up to 100 guests to ‘visit’ local artist's studios, ask questions about the artists work and progress, and share in community, from a distance. For our this Virtual Studio Visit, we are pleased to visit the studio of Krystle Brown!

Virtual Studio Visits are free, and open to all!

About Krystle's Artwork: Brown's recent work revolves around the psychological effects of economic class, ritual, and being at odds with one’s environment. Combining these motifs, she creates video installations, sculpture, photography, and performance that bridge between the morbid and the sardonic. They use personal storytelling to drive the concepts and aesthetics that are in conversation with the suburban/urban gothic paradigm. Situated uncomfortably between the aspirations of the American Dream and “white trash”, Brown's work grapples my hybrid economic class and social identity. They question and attempt to solve whether a society decides that there are different levels of value placed on what we hold dear like our physical homes, the objects within them, and the neighborhoods surrounding them.
