Our Objectives
Providing Opportunities for HOC Program Participants
With our Gallery, Haus of Codec aims to provide our program participants with opportunities to showcase their works, employment opportunities and skill building.
Building Community
Haus of Codec has been of active aid to the creative scene in New England with our summer Art Market Series. With our Gallery, we aim to continue to provide opportunities for local artist to share their original artworks at our gallery, free of charge and with sales agreements.
Contribution
Haus of Codec aims to contribute to the ever growing and changing art scene in New England by keeping our gallery space focus on critical issues presented by our artist.
133 Mathewson Street, Providence RI 02903
Our galley is a curated exhibition space that focuses on critical issues presented by artists of our communities in New England. Additionally, artists exhibiting in the our gallery will benefit our street-level facility and our large windows for added visibility.
Our gallery aims to hosts one artist or one group (2 or more artist) per month and is ideal for both 2D wall-hung work as well as work that may be 3D, large scale, or work that utilizes floor space while maintaining the intimacy of space.
Our Current Show
This Is: Still I Rise
With Laura Lee Brady, Esther Helas, Logan Morosini Heilman, Meag Hepp, Chris Tavares, & Kenny Gilbert
Still I Rise centers collective resilience, honoring the ways queer and marginalized communities continue to endure, create, and rise together. This group exhibition and open call centers community resilience, collective care, and survival.
The exhibition takes its title from Still I Rise by Maya Angelou, a Black feminist writer, poet, and civil rights activist whose work centers LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC life, love, survival and resistance. Drawing inspiration from her legacy, this exhibition understands resilience as not an individual strength but as a shared collective practice. A practice built through chosen families, mutual support, the arts, and community presence.
For our LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, rising has never been a one-time art, it is cyclical, collective and very much ongoing.

About the Exhibition / Open Call
“This Is My Identity” is an invitation to examine identity as something lived, layered, and continually unfolding. Identity is not singular or static. It is shaped by ancestry, geography, language, memory, community, migration, love, resistance, and survival. It is inherited and chosen. It is visible and unseen. It is shaped by systems and reclaimed through self-definition.
This exhibition centers artists whose work speaks to the complexities of being particularly within LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. We are interested in work that explores how identity is carried in the body, expressed through culture, negotiated in public space, and transformed over time.
Identity can be joyful. It can be political. It can be fractured, healed, concealed, protected, celebrated, or in transition. We welcome work that reflects the realities of identity at intersections of race, gender, sexuality, spirituality, class, disability, immigration status, language, family, and more.
We are especially interested in artwork that:
Reflects lived experience and personal narrative
Explores cultural inheritance and generational memory
Examines visibility, invisibility, and belonging
Interrogates systems of power while centering resilience
Celebrates softness, pleasure, care, and community
Questions what it means to define oneself on one’s own terms
“This Is My Identity” recognizes that identity is not just who we are , it is how we move through the world, how the world moves around us, and how we choose to respond.
This call is open to members of the Rhode Island and New England community only.
No prior exhibition experience is needed.
