SaveArtSpace is proud to present This Place Meant, a public art exhibition in New York City starting August 21, 2023, curated by Sadaf Padder.

The This Place Meant selected artists are Bianca Nemelc, Camilo Villalvilla Soto, Nyugen E. Smith, and Yen Ha.

This Place Meant represents third-culture kids, the descendants of mass displacement forced to leave lush landscapes, fecund soils, rolling hills and expansive forests. This Place Meant beckons all who are tapping into the spiritual realm by connecting with natural elements, found objects and plant-human hybridity to establish a sense of belonging and home.

During the week of August 21, 2023, SaveArtSpace launched public art installations for each selected work on billboard ad spaces in New York City. The public art was on view for at least one month.
