SPRING / SUMMER SHOW: JOY WILL OUT

Tuesday June 23, 2026

Joy will out. This is an old truth, borrowed from the certainty that what is essential cannot be suppressed. Seasons knows this. So does a child, and so does an elder who has lived long enough to watch the world break and repair itself many times over.

163 Bowery brings together 9 artists spanning eight decades of life to make the case that joy is not naïve. It is not a distraction. Joy could be the most radical thing we can insist upon when the world outside feels fractured, loud and in turmoil.
