Artspace.com and Rush Arts Gallery in New York are teaming up to launch
a special collection of fifteen works showcasing the gallery's past-exhibited artists. The show "15x15"  celebrates the Rush Arts Gallery's fifteen-year anniversary and their commitment of supporting new and emerging artists of color and others not yet recognized by the mainstream. The online site for contemporary artworks, Artspace.com, has taken on this collaboration in support of both theirs and Rush Arts' commitment to new innovation
and design in the community. Both the gallery and the website are
dedicated to representing these artists in the mainstream art market.
The Rush Arts Alumni in the exhibit, pulled together by curator Ingrid
LaFleur, include artists Lennon Jno-Baptiste, Sanford Biggers, Michael
Paul Britto, Barron Claiborne, Renee Cox, Tahir Hemphill, Ayana V
Jackson, Simone Leigh, Kalup Linzy,  Angelbert Metoyer, Wangechi Mutu,

Each artist submitted a signed and numbered limited-edition print
to be sold available today to Artspace.com members in an exclusive sale .  The
