Arabi Visual Arts partnered with a range of artists, collectives, and organizations to host juried and open exhibitions in the gallery. Most were run through ArtCall.org, which preserves a full web gallery of every submitted piece — browsable below alongside each show's original call.
The first exhibition held at Arabi Visual Arts.
A group exhibition exploring the human body as both physical form and shared human experience, bringing together local, national, and international photographers working across street photography, environmental portraiture, and studies of hands and feet. Work was presented in a range of formats — framed and canvas prints, digital slideshow, artist books, and more. Christopher exhibited pieces from several of his own ongoing series alongside the group.
An international group exhibition of photography, digital painting, pastels, and sculpture, all centered on hands and feet. The show featured limited-edition prints from Christopher's own "Focus on Feet" series, curated with a local gallery and museum professional, alongside work from other New Orleans-based artists and one contributor from England.
A group exhibition centered on resilience and transformation, deliberately scheduled outside Pride Month or Black History Month — built on the idea that a metamorphosis can happen to any person, nation, or religion. Open to artists worldwide, with a curated selection shown in the physical gallery.
A group photography exhibition exploring urban exploration, roof-topping, street art, and urban blight, drawing an international pool of contributing photographers.
A celebration of Louisiana's natural environment, juried in partnership with the environmental nonprofit Healthy Gulf. The show brought together photography and 2D art capturing the state's fish, wildlife, and coastal landscapes.
A limited-engagement duo showcase at Arabi Visual Arts.
A fine-art photography exhibition featuring work by Foad Seyed Mohammadi and Christopher Ryan, exploring vulnerability, form, and the human condition through striking figurative imagery.
Presented with the New Orleans Drawing Group, a long-running local drawing collective. The show paired an in-gallery juried selection with a fully open online exhibition featuring every submitted work.
