“Just Folks” is a phrase coined between the curators of WALL\THERAPY to describe the power of the average person to make an incredible difference in their community. We are living in a time when it is essential to realize the common vein between us all and the capacity for great change that we share.
Over the last ten years, curator and RIT College of Art and Design staff member Erich Lehman has developed a grassroots community of artists from the Rochester region and around the world.
Through his ventures 1975 Gallery and co-curation of WALL THERAPY (in partnership with Dr. Ian Wilson), over 275 artists have exhibited their work in Rochester, advancing their own careers while leaving a lasting mark on the Rochester art landscape.
Lehman has curated a selection of artists to highlight ten years of 1975 and WALL THERAPY curation, in a special exhibition called "Just Folks," hosted by RIT City Art Space.
A percentage of all artwork sales will be donated to the WALL\THERAPY project.
