Creative Arts Workshop Hosts Nasty Women CT’s “Hill Blocks View” Exhibition
New Haven, CT – March 3, 2025 – Creative Arts Workshop (CAW) is proud to partner with Nasty Women Connecticut to present Hill Blocks View, a powerful exhibition featuring works by more than 100 artists responding to the uncertainties and urgencies of our socio-political moment. The exhibition will be on view from March 5 – 23, 2025, with a gallery opening on Saturday, March 8 from 5 – 7 pm, in honor of International Women’s Day.
Inspired by road signs that warn of steep, obscured inclines, Hill Blocks View serves as a metaphor for navigating today’s unpredictable and precarious landscape. As the world reckons with challenges to democracy, gender equity, racial justice, and human rights, the exhibition invites artists and audiences to consider the role of feminist movements and collective solidarity in shaping the future.
Rooted in themes of activism, uncertainty, and resilience, Hill Blocks View draws inspiration from feminist thinkers, global art collectives, and liberation movements. The exhibition not only examines challenges but also envisions new pathways forward, asking how artists can shape roadmaps for a future where all can thrive.
The exhibition aligns with CAW’s mission to provide space for artists to create freely and engage in meaningful dialogue. Nasty Women Connecticut’s organizer, Luciana McClure says that the power of art is in, “its ability to hold space as we process our vulnerabilities and emotions, act, rest, meet new people, exchange ideas, share culture, and realize the fullness of our capacity to collectively dream.”
All are invited to the opening reception on March 8 at Creative Arts Workshop, located at 80 Audubon Street, New Haven, CT.
