Julie Peppito Chooses Hope offers a roadmap for navigating chaos through layered compositions of fiber, paint, and found objects. Exploring the tension between expectation and reality, Peppito transforms everyday materials into intricate works that embrace movement, ambiguity, and growth. The exhibition invites viewers to step beyond uncertainty and into possibility where hope is both a choice and an ever-expanding horizon.

ABOUT OUR EXHIBITING ARTIST: JULIE PEPPITO (b. 1970, American)

Julie Peppito combines multiple materials to create creature-like sculptures, layered tapestries, large installations, collages, and playground art. The hybrid forms are about connection, waste and fantasy. Peppito holds an MFA with a concentration in sculpture from Alfred University in Alfred, NY (2004) and she received her BFA from The Cooper Union in New York, NY (1992). Peppito’s work has been the subject of 10 solo exhibitions. Peppito creates, teaches art and lives in Brooklyn, NY with her partner (comic book artist) Gideon Kendall and their son.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery)

The Contemporary Art Modern Project Gallery is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to raising awareness for emerging and mid-career artists with a unique emphasis on ultra-contemporary approaches to textiles and fiber art. Founded during the height of the pandemic by Melanie Prapopoulos, the gallery has gone on to create a distinctly academic and thought-provoking arts program in North Miami, and beyond. As a gallery, The CAMP remains steadfast in transparency both for the artist and for the collector, building bridges and connections from creation to acquisition. With a robust local and international roster, the gallery represents artists working in textiles and fiber, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Looking at art, as a whole, through a reactionary and interdisciplinary approach, the gallery operates as a space wherein creativity and reality co-exist.
