Experience the innovative use of concrete as an art medium at Christina Werkmeister’s Concrete Concrete exhibit at Hub17NYC Gallery. Join us for an exploration of artistic expression through concrete, featuring a variety of artworks and interactive workshops for adults and children. Admission is free.
The show features a dynamic mix of paintings, sculptures, and decorative works that push the boundaries of what concrete can be. From rough textures to smooth finishes, Concrete Concrete invites visitors to experience concrete in new and creative ways. Christina Werkmeister, a Staten Island-based artist and designer, brings her extensive background in architecture, interior, and graphic design to this exhibit. Known for her abstract paintings and digital art prints, her art has been showcased in Venice, Basel, Miami, and New York City.
Beyond the artwork itself, the exhibit also highlights several collaborative projects that connect the community and invite participation:
Concrete Guitar Collaboration with DiMarzio: A fully playable, one-of-a-kind electric guitar encased in concrete was created in collaboration with legendary Staten Island pickup makers DiMarzio. It will make its debut — and be played live — at the opening reception.
Concrete Concrete is made possible by a 2024 DCLA Art Fund Grant from Staten Island Arts, with public funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Exhibit hours are as follows: Thursday, June 5, Opening Reception: 6-9 pm, Friday, June 6: 4-7 pm, Saturday, June 7: 12-7 pm, and Sunday, June 8: 12-3 pm.
