“Re/collecting” | Solo Exhibit by Carolyn Louth
On view through Sunday, October 25, 2026
New York, September 3 - October 25, 2026
“Why do I keep what is no longer worn… and how do I let go?”
Drawing upon her experience as a founding team member of Here to Honor and as a professional creative, Carolyn Louth artfully addresses themes of memory, meaning, and mortality through what was worn. Equal parts word and image, “Re/collecting” invites viewers to reflect on their own belongings—and to perhaps reconsider what’s kept in their closets!
Ready to activate your right brain? Sign up for Intuitive Artmaking at W83 on Thursday, October 8. Led by Carolyn Louth, you will explore her personal archives of unique printed materials and papers. No prior art experience is needed—simply bring an open mind and willingness to cut, tear, collage, and reconnect with your intuition. Registration is open on Eventbrite.
about the artist
Carolyn Louth grew up in a small town near New Orleans and pursued her passion for the arts with a BFA from Louisiana State University. After graduating, she moved to Atlanta, where she joined the creative team at HowStuffWorks and also started playing ultimate frisbee. In 2005, she made the leap to New York and, as a freelance art director, designed print and digital materials for clients in many different fields. A desire to focus her work on sustainability and advocacy efforts led her to complete the IMPACT! Design for Social Change residency program at the School of Visual Arts in 2013. She has moved eleven times in Manhattan and has had to reckon with her “collections” at every change of address.
about the gallery
At the Gallery at W83, we cultivate art and community on the Upper West Side, providing space for personal engagement, community conversations, and spiritual reflection, and collaborate with local artists from diverse backgrounds to explore universal themes of culture, community, and faith.
We bring together different perspectives in this space as an invitation to join in conversations we believe are vital to us all. We affirm the artist's right to express their views independently, and the views expressed by the artists are their own and do not necessarily represent the Gallery at W83 or Redeemer West Side.
