A new exhibition featuring works by a pair of emerging artists will debut at the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning’ Miller Gallery Oct. 29.

The exhibition titled “A Way of Learning From Everything” showcases projects by ARTWorks fellows Cody Ann Herrmann and Patrice Robinson. Each artist explores the different ways they engage with the world around them and how their work reflects the change they wish to see.

ARTWorks — Artist Residency and Training Workshop Series — is the center’s year-long professional development fellowship for emerging and underrepresented artists, with priority given to Queens residents.

The exhibition is the second and final gallery showing for the program fellows, and references “Learning from Las Vegas,” a book by a group of architects that helped characterize postmodernism.  

Hermann’s work focuses on  gentrification and urban ecology. The Queens native will host a guided tour of Flushing Creek on Oct. 31 with Guardians of Flushing Bay and members of the Flushing for Equitable Development & Urban Planning as an extension of her JCAL exhibition.

Both artists will be in the gallery on Saturdays, Nov. 7, 14, 21 and Dec. 5, and 12 from noon until 5 p.m. JCAL will also live stream a conversation with the artists on its Youtube channel on Nov. 18.

The exhibition will remain on display until Dec. 15.
Gallery visits are available by appointment only.
