Link in bio for this new rendition of Don’t Cry Emily, Volume 02 that has been held and supported and cried through by so many people.***

After the first version (that lived inside Emily Orling’s stunning solo show at A.P.E. Gallery) a friend asked,

“so, do you think you’d do this again?”

I said I felt like I could do it a thousand times and still be interested in it. Because in this melding of writing + performance, this third space opened up for me —

“You just conducted a 90 person healing ritual,”

César said, after we finished.

And it was that extra part, that was a total surprise to me, of people saying,

“that was my story,”

and,

“I didn’t know how much I needed this shared space,”

or, just being unable to speak through tears as they touched in with their own grief, that gave me a sense of purpose that was somehow more than art making had offered me in the past.

I’m terrified and excited to share this with you.

Maybe terror is just a version of awe.

POSTPONED/SOLD OUT. I’m delighted to share that my dear friend Boyuan Gao and I are collaborating on an experimental event called- The Joy of Grief.

*Wednesday, February 25th 5:30-9

The original idea stemmed from the desire to have a book reading celebrating the 2nd edition of my self-published book- So Many Ways to Draw a Ghost. I got overwhelmed by the idea of an event focusing on me, but a new idea came to life through the many incredible conversations Boyuan (“purveyor of collective mischief, relationship building, and curated gatherings as an antidote to the internet”) and I have been having the past few year’s about death, grief, and joy. In Boyuan’s words- “We will use your book as the ‘anchor’’ but we have invited multiple amazing artists @studio.feeler @katrinagoldsaito @many_graces to join us in exploring the theme.

The event is being held at our wonderful friend’s Kel & Rebecca’s beautiful botanical lounge @subrosa.botanica in Northampton, Mass.

It’s a more intimate gathering (about 40 people) we did word of mouth invitations first, not many tickets left so if you’re interested don’t wait too long to buy a ticket. And if you want to support the event but can’t make it, there is an option to buy a donation ticket for someone who is grieving but can’t afford a ticket (we are paying all of the artists and we priced the tickets accordingly- as we believe in honoring and supporting artists). Boyuan made a beautiful and thorough ticketing page (link up top) where you can get a better sense of what the night will be like, and if it’s right for you. We wanted the description of the event to be a resounding yes or no, and to empower you to make a choice.

Xo, Chelsea (and Boyuan!)

5th annual Artisan Fair coming to 33 Hawley on Nov 29, with 60+ artists, makers, and crafters!

Acadia Black
Acadia's work focuses on connecting sustainability and art, while making original artwork more accessible. Her thrifted clothes are given new life through hand-carved linocut printing, keeping them out of the landfills for at least a few more wears. Each piece is completely unique, but everything is affordable!

Studio Feeler
Akilah Scharff-Teoh is a first-generation Caribbean-American artist and creative technologist, and explores the joy and toil of liminal existence. Studio Feeler, her art practice, is a combination of self-actualization, meditation, spiritual embodiment, and ancestral quest-making.

Blackpixeldust Art
JT Phillips creates Colorful fantasy and sci-fi illustrative art with queer centric characters. Come see their ink linework, digital prints, and the worlds and characters they create.

Northampton Art
Kathleen Hasbrouck has been carving, printing, and painting in Northampton since 1972. New this year Hand painted boxes

Catch a Moment Caly
Miranda Busansky’s work is sewn in the fields of Wood-Fired Ceramics, wild Paper Sculpture, Contact Improvisation, and Butoh. Miranda is interested in the facilitation of therapeutic care, arts education, and capitalist intervention through collective practices of dance, ceramics, and improvisation.

Hawksong Weaving
Took Storm works exclusively with thrifted and secondhand yarn to handweave a variety of scarves, shawls, bags, and home goods with zero waste. This process serves to remind himself and others that just because you’ve been worn down by life and pieced back together a few times, doesn’t mean you don’t have value, and that it’s okay to be gentle with yourself while piecing things back together.

Find these artists in the Lower Level Lobby of 33 Hawley!

The Rah Collective with Sarah Graves can be found in the Workroom on the lower level of 33 Hawley
