In Bloom at Padre Gallery (2021)

Head of Creative, Design, Art Direction, Curator

Partnering with the Upper East Side’s Padre Gallery, Roosi was invited to curate a large group show showcasing both emerging and established artists. The goal was to breathe new energy into the space and create a platform where a diverse mix of creative voices could come together under one cohesive vision.

With so many artistic styles and personal narratives, the challenge was finding a unifying concept broad enough to connect all the works while still allowing each artist’s individuality to shine. The solution became In Bloom — a theme that explored ideas of growth, process, and self-identity. The show brought together paintings, sculptures, mixed media, and photography, each piece contributing to an atmosphere of transformation and discovery.

From branding the exhibition to producing event materials, every touchpoint reflected the In Bloom story. The opening night drew more than 500 visitors and featured sponsorships from liquor brands, turning the gallery into a vibrant, collaborative space that celebrated both the artists and the community. Guest appearances by A$AP Ferg and Tyshawn Jones.
