Art-Work: Balance explores the often invisible tension between creative practice and the jobs artists take on to support their practice. Featuring works across mediums, the exhibition reveals how labor outside the studio—whether inspiring, exhausting, or intrusive—shapes the artist's identity, process, and output. The pieces do not directly depict these jobs but instead respond to the lived reality of navigating survival and self-expression. This exhibition invites viewers to consider the cost, resilience, and ingenuity behind sustaining an artistic life.

Hosted by The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center.
