Re-juvenation is a site-specific art exhibition and art intervention staged within the city of Newburgh, NY. Conceived as an invitation for artists to use the city's urban fabric as a medium, Re-juvenation examines the adaptive reuse of architectural space and community-driven initiatives for neighborhood revitalization.
Re-juvenation features a wide variety of painting, sculpture, photography, site-specific installation, video, sound, and performance art presented in non-traditional spaces. The organizers of this exhibition hope to explore the potential of public spaces for artistic activities, and to empower artists and creative individuals to realize their potential as agents of change within communities.
The exhibition venues, ranging from lobbies and tunnels to streetscapes and open spaces, pose numerous site-responsive challenges and opportunities for experimentation. Re-juvenation brings together artists, architects, urban planners, community organizers and local residents to investigate, imagine, and activate futures for Newburgh in these spaces.
Using the city as a stage, Re-juvenation aims to engage the urban environment and its relationship to its diverse and evolving communities through site-specific art exhibitions. The artists, working in the Greater New York City region, are committed to exploring the specific urban context of Newburgh, and the possibilities of regeneration through collaborative engagement with those driving the current arts-based urban redevelopment of the city.
Re-juvenation opens with an evening of community centered programming on April 30th, 2016, engaging local residents through a series of artistic activities, discussions, and workshops.
