ABOUT SOMETHINGPROJECTS
In 2022, longtime friends and artists, Howard el-Yasin and Suzan Shutan decided to partner and launched SomethingProjects: a nomadic and provisional space providing short-term exhibitions that dually highlight artists as well as introducing communities to new viewpoints and practices by state, regional, national, and international artists. As an incubator for ideas, it encourages artists to step outside their boundaries and experiment with the intersection of materials, production, presentation, and means of engagement with audience and space. Their locations will change and offer site-specific opportunities.

THE EXCHANGE is generously supported by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, Connecticut Office of the Arts, which also receives support from the federal ARPA.
