Epicenter x Art Retail Therapy: Reception for Winnie Sidharta, September’s featured artist

Epicenter NYC and Art Retail Therapy are teaming up!

Every month you can view the work of a new Epicenter feature artist on the walls at the Art Retail Therapy store in Jackson Heights.

September’s feature artist is Winnie Sidharta 

Winnie Sidharta is an Indonesian-born Chinese artist based in Queens. Sidharta’s collages, paintings, drawings, and site-specific installations consider themes of assimilation, immigration, and how those experiences inform each other. Sidharta has exhibited in galleries and museums in Indonesia, Beijing, California, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York City. She studied visual communication design in Indonesia and painting in Beijing. In 2010, she received her MFA in painting and drawing from The Ohio State University, where she also taught classes before settling in New York City in 2014.

Epicenter NYC features the work of a New York area artist every week, sharing examples of their work, accomplishments, and helping generate buzz for upcoming projects. The feature is circulated through Epicenter’s weekly newsletter, social feeds, and is archived on our website.The archive also serves as a virtual flat file for inclusions in future exhibitions and events. We believe artists are essential to the well being of our community, society, and democracy. In addition, artists chosen through our simple and free submission process receive a $100 honorarium. Artists can submit here.
