黑料不打烊

Olympia is pleased to present Two Years and Change, a birthday exhibition to celebrate the artists who have shaped the gallery since the establishment of our permanent home.

Since opening on 41 Orchard Street in November 2020, Olympia has held eighteen exhibitions. Three underlying principles have always been woven into the conception of each show:

- Nurture contemporary pulses while destabilizing uniform experiences of space and time 

- Create opportunities by hosting first-time solo exhibitions 

- Reinvigorate artists鈥� careers who have not exhibited in the recent past

Olympia centers friendship and the building up of the kind of community we have longed to see; multigenerational voices and experiences and boundary breaking visual languages. What began at Mount Holyoke College as an experimental nomadic curatorial platform has evolved today into a for-profit, for-artist gallery. 

We are thrilled to continue the humbling and self-appointed task of opening new paths鈥� allowing different elements to meet and people to engage with each other, all while nurturing shared stake-holding rather than a hierarchy. 

The conversations and questions that took place during our first two years will continue to unfold, opening us to continued change and transformation. 

The group of artists highlighted in 2 Years and Change cultivate love鈥� the most profound energy source that informs who we are and what we create. Their works reflect our feelings of abundance, joy, and gratitude, as we look to Olympia鈥檚 collective future.
