CURRENT & Upcoming EXHIBITIONS



Form & Function
The Art of Graphic Design
Curated by Dawn DeVito
Opening Reception: October 1, 6-9pm
On view: October 1 - November 1
Graphic design, often relegated to a commercial or functional category, is a practice rich with visual innovation, conceptual depth, and emotional resonance. "Form & Function" presents a curated selection of graphic design works that transcend their immediate commercial purpose, demonstrating mastery of composition, color, typography, and image-making on par with fine art.
The show appeals to a broad audience such as design professionals, art enthusiasts, and the general public by engaging with a medium they encounter daily. It will stimulate debate, draw new demographics to the gallery, and position the organization as a thought leader in contemporary visual culture.
We seek to definitively argue that when driven by aesthetic intent, conceptual rigor, and expressive freedom, graphic design is undeniably art.

Fine Art At Culture Lab LIC
Culture Lab LIC is a nonprofit art gallery providing a full calendar of monthly exhibitions by emerging and mid-career artists working in visual, installation, interactive, digital and video art. Our exhibitions are often complemented by a diverse series of multidisciplinary performances as well as artist talks, panel discussions & workshops. Culture Lab LIC collaborates with local organizations, individual artists and curators to bring in new ideas, develop cohesive monthly programming and participatory events, with a goal of promoting the cultural growth of our community.
Currently Culture Lab LIC programs between 20 - 36 exhibitions annually with an average of over 1000 visitors monthly, and does not take a commission from the art we sell. Per our mission statement, all proceeds from the sale of art exhibited at Culture Lab LIC goes back to the artist.
Our programming is unique because of the proposal structure we work with as well as our open-door policy towards community volunteers and outside organizations seeking space for different projects. For almost all the exhibitions we have an “Open Call” where all artists have the opportunity to submit their artwork for consideration.
Our team works hard to bring thoughtful, beautiful and groundbreaking programming to Queens.
