The Louis Armstrong House Museum held it's Groundbreaking Ceremony on 17 July 2017. We are excited to move ahead with the construction of this cultural & education center honoring the life & legacy of the great Louis Armstrong, the one and only Satchmo.
Principals Sara Caples and Everardo Jefferson are featured in “Behind the Design: The Louis Armstrong Center” on Archtober. The insightful Q&A covers how they brought the spirit of Louis Armstrong—his joy, his legacy, his community—into the architecture of the Louis Armstrong Center in Queens.
Launching this June, the National Academy of Design is pleased to present “Kinetic Traces”, a group exhibition showcasing the work of the twenty-eight artists and architects elected as National Academicians in 2024 including CJA Principals, Sara Caples and Everardo Jefferson.
“Kinetic Traces” highlights three main focal points: performance, community engagement, and light. By framing the kinetic as both a conceptual lens and a theoretical tool, the exhibition explores movement, surface tension, and spatial expansion.
The newly inducted Academician class of artists and architects includes Ann Agee, Diana Al-Hadid, Sara Caples, Diana Cooper, Lise Anne Couture, Rochelle Feinstein, Chie Fueki, Gajin Fujita, Maren Hassinger, Hugh Hayden, Florian Idenburg, Everardo Jefferson, Mernet Larsen, Marilyn Lerner, Jing Liu, Anthony McCall, Beverly McIver, Amalia Mesa-Bains, Senga Nengudi, Sheila Pepe, Hani Rashid, Jesse Reiser, David Row, Amy Sherald, Ken Smith, Nader Tehrani, Masami Teraoka and Nanako Umemoto.
“Kinetic Traces” is curated by Associate Curator, Natalia Viera Salgado.
On view from June 12 through September 13.
