Awita New York | Studio · Gallery
Awita New York invites artists of all backgrounds to apply for a group exhibition titled UNFINISHED, presented throughout the month of April 2026.

🖋 CURATORIAL NOTE
UNFINISHED reflects the belief that art does not need to arrive fully resolved to be meaningful. Within a working studio–gallery environment, this exhibition honors uncertainty, process, and works that remain open—inviting artists and viewers alike to engage with art as an evolving, living practice.
