WhyWhyArt initiates ActOnition – an Action performed in public spaces for individuals and activists to not only acknowledge personal responsibilities but to also Act On and to point out and change the unjust aspects of social behaviors.

Pretty Ugly brings together the work of sixteen artists, all of whom explore a fugitive beauty within “a degraded sense of reality”(2.)

‘Art is New York/New York is Art,’ an initiative designed to celebrate 20 years of the Tribeca Festival Art Awards and artists supporting other artists while also helping to beautify the city as it reemerges from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The exhibition opens with a commissioned installation by the artist Piers Secunda. His powerful artwork is created from a reproduction of the Assyrian relief of a bird-headed spirit from Nimrud, Iraq, that now dominates the Museum’s Welcome Space.
