Perry Lawson Fine Art (PLFA) is a contemporary art gallery located in an historic building in downtown Nyack, NY.  For Bending the Arc, we invite artists to submit artwork (minimum of 3 pieces) that explores the complexities of human values—respect, empathy, integrity, and, above all, the courage to stand firm when the status quo falls short of those values. The title comes from an idea referenced by Martin Luther King, Jr., that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”  We welcome work that raises questions, reveals tensions, or imagines new possibilities for how these values shape our shared humanity.

Juror:  Claire Koelling, Exhibition Manager and Registrar, Gagosian Gallery
