On Thursday, December 7th, Apostrophe Reps hosted our inaugural agency-wide art show, exploring the theme of belonging. Titled "Echoes of Inclusion: Visual Narratives of Belonging," the event showcased defining work from both our roster and the 2023 Apostrophe Mentorship Program (AMP) class, fostering a sense of community and connection.
Each artist conceived and created artwork that sheds light on the ever-evolving landscape of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging among unique identities. The show transcended expectations, offering a much-needed experience in a world where social media often leaves us feeling isolated.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the AMP Mentees and Apostrophe Reps artists for their invaluable contributions to the show. Special thanks to Marissa Eisele for her unwavering dedication in producing and ensuring the show's success from start to finish. We are thankful for The Revery and their beautiful space that showcased these inspiring stories.
We also want to acknowledge Renna Pilar and her art department for their assistance in constructing and displaying the artwork within the space. Many thanks to all our incredible sponsors who gifted fabulous food and drink for everyone to enjoy throughout the night:
