Arts E.T.C. and Newark Art Supply proudly present Catfish Friday, the exhibit.
This exhibit features the work of women artists who participate in the women artists support group called Catfish Friday. Catfish Friday is the brainchild of Newark artist Toni Thomas. Each month for the past six months women artists from Newark and surrounding communities from New Jersey and New York have come together to share, discuss, and critique their art. This exhibit highlights the diverse, artistic explorations
of this very talented group of women.
The visual artists are Janice Anderson, Mary Baldwin, Sadee Brathwaite, Gladys Grauer, Diana Jensen, Tara Lamourt, Ade Tugbiyele Sedita, Toni Thomas and Bisa Washington. The featured poets are Elaine Lee and Esther Morales.

The women in this exhibit represent over 25 years experience in the arts with some extraordinarily talented artists on the cutting edge of the visual arts scene in this area. This diverse group of visual artists, writers and poets come together each month to share and nurture their artistic practices. They have created a contemporary art community for women that is positive, nurturing and non-competitive.

The exhibit at Newark Art Supply on 61 Halsey St. (on the corner of New St) in downtown Newark opens Monday July 7 and runs through Thursday July 31, 2008. Works can be viewed Monday – Friday from 9 AM - 7 PM and 9 AM -5 PM on Saturday. Opening reception is Saturday July 12 from 6-8 PM with poetry readings starting at 7 PM.
