Village at Ithaca Youth, Sarah Wolff, Grace Azaula: Our Seats for the Table

Join Us for “Our Seats for the Table” Art Exhibition Experience an inspiring evening of art, culture, and community during Ithaca Gallery Night!

When: Friday, February 7th | 5:00–8:00 PM Where: Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA) 330 E State St, Ithaca, NY 14850

Discover “Our Seats for the Table,” a powerful art exhibit by Village at Ithaca Youth and Sarah Wolff and Grace Azaula, honoring Black agents of freedom through reimagined found chairs. Each chair tells a story—featuring figures like Ida B. Wells, Trayvon Martin, and Shirley Chisholm. Students used their creativity, passion, and research skills to reclaim 17 chairs through decoupage, paint, and other techniques, transforming the chairs into testimonials and depictions of the Black agents of freedom who came before them. This project illustrates that while the table has been promised, it has not yet been given.
