No Place Like Home
No Place Like Home
OVERLAP, an artist-run exhibition space in Newport, RI, is proud to present "No Place Like Home", a fundraising art exhibition featuring works from 47 local and regional artists. Running from November 16 through December 21, 2024, the exhibit explores the theme of “home,” prompting reflections on comfort, safety, and belonging while advocating for those in need of shelter.
The exhibition invites both artists and viewers to contemplate their personal associations with the concept of home, while also raising awareness and funds for those without one. With 52 thought-provoking artworks ranging from representational to abstract, and from traditional to experimental media, "No Place Like Home" offers a diverse interpretation of this universal theme. All works in the exhibition are available for purchase. Fifty percent of all art sales will directly benefit two local organizations dedicated to ending homelessness: the Rhode Island Coalition to End Homelessness and the Newport Housing Hotline. (The other fifty percent will go to the artist.)
Public Reception:
Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, November 16 from 3-5 pm at OVERLAP, where visitors can meet the artists, enjoy light refreshments, and engage with the artwork. It will be a celebration of art, community, and a shared commitment to supporting those impacted by housing insecurity.
