Opening Reception: Sun, July 21 2-4 pm

This exhibit will showcase artists who are passionate about our national dialogue. We seek artwork that challenge norms, ignite conversations, and shed light on diverse political narratives. Join us in creating a space for dialogue and reflection on the major issues of our time and help us answer the question, how can we as artists contribute to actively provoking and engaging an audience to participate in the civic life of the nation.
