The ABC No Rio Visual Arts Collective introduces our next art exhibition: 'Art-Work: Balance'.

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

Opens May 29th 6-9pm
Closes: July 12th
@ The Clemente 4th Floor Gallery (107 Suffolk Street, 4th floor)

Registration now open for Seth Tobocman’s Comics as Political Expression class! (Register through link in bio.)

This is a class for students hoping to express their political convictions through the medium of comics, cartooning, or illustration. Run and taught by the radical comic artist and founder/editor of World War 3, Seth Tobocman.

The class is open to artists at any skill level. The ideas presented are narrative and conceptual and will work just as well with stick figures as with detailed, realistic drawings. But the assumption is that everyone here wants to produce art, not just talk about it. Everyone in the class will be treated respectfully and criticized constructively, as a working artist.

Comics, today, have emerged as an important art form, influencing film, politics and other aspects of culture. Many organizations today use graphic novels to draw attention to their issues. But comics have a long tradition. Cartoonists played a significant role in the American, French, and Russian revolutions, in the abolitionist, civil rights and feminist movements. Most of the pioneers of American comics were from working-class backgrounds.

We will look at the many ways that artists have expressed political concerns throughout history with an eye towards seeing what techniques we can apply in our own work.

First Class: May 17, 2026, from 1:00pm to 3pm (EST)
Continuing on subsequent Sundays through Tuesday September 20, 2026.

Course Fee: $200

To register, see the link in bio (linktree). For more information, email us at [email protected]
