About the Exhibition:
For Newark Arts Festival’s 20th anniversary, Newark Arts celebrated legendary entertainer and New Jersey native, Dionne Warwick with a pop-up exhibition, Dionne Warwick: Queen of Twitter. The exhibit featured specially commissioned artwork inspired by the humorous, sassy, profound, and inspirational tweets by Ms. Warwick. Plus, rarely seen archival material was on display including items from Ms. Warwick’s personal collection.
Collectively, the artwork and archival materials celebrate Ms Warwick’s creative resilience. The latter, is defined within the context of this exhibition as the ability to creatively use the arts and social media to surmount life’s obstacles and imagine a better future. Throughout her career and via her online presence, Ms. Warwick has consistently demonstrated the power of creative resilience to uplift, educate, and unite people during challenging times. Thus, making her a true Queen.
