Antonia Ruppert Art

Thank you to Executive Director, Janet Bloch Bloch, Curator Nelsy Marcano and Marketing Director Jessie Sexton with the Lubeznik Center for the Arts for a deeply impactful First Friday Artist Talk and Opening Reception for my new exhibition, Connected Voices.

Connected Voices explores portraiture via painting, collage, video and original songs honoring narratives and voices often left untold.

The whole team did an amazing job positioning the work—which is up through February.

What’s next? I am looking to build on this work through residencies and exhibition opportunities preferably in Southern United States (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, etc.)

I am asking for help.

If you’d like to collaborate, sponsor or promote this next effort, DM’s are welcome. 🎨

There are seasons when rest is the most faithful response.

You are not behind.

Hoping your Thanksgiving was simply beautiful!

Family, friends and art connections: I am coming to the Oak Park Library for its December 30th Kwanzaa Celebration (6-8pm). I am a featured artist alongside artists Tia Etu and Hasani Cannon.

*No need to live in OP to join us!

All are welcome.

So excited to share my work! So grateful for the support of the and the new I hope you’ll join us this Friday for the community Open House, 5-9pm.

Listened to The Thriving Christian Artist podcast today. I learned that just stepping into my studio today is an act of faith. Faith makes it all possible. Praying for your week ahead—know that your steps of faith matter.
