Art in Odd Places 2019: INVISIBLE

The In(visibil)ity Project: Replacement Parts—A Passport to Wellness invites people to consider their lives — what needs to be replaced, what has been replaced, what is irreplaceable — and to create personal Passports to Wellness. Participants will insert into handmade Passports images of people, objects, body parts and animals to fill the voids of their absence. On completion, participants will take their Passports with them as remembrances.

Schaer will be on the south side of West 14 Street, between 7th & 8th Avenues, near the Mt. Sinai Doctors clinic on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2-5 p.m.; Friday, Oct. 18, 5-8 p.m.; and Saturday & Sunday, Oct. 19 & 20, 2-5 p.m. AIOP 2019: Invisible is curated by LuLu LoLo. Please stop by!
