Participating Artists Announced !!

Wow! What an amazing group of artists!

An open call to artists is really a leap of hope. One just doesn't know if anyone will respond, who will respond, or whether or not the work submitted has anything at all to do with the themes of the exhibition. Considering all of the uncertainties of calling out on a first year event, we are just bowled over to have been treated to such great work by so many talented artists.

Whether by origin or interpretation, each artist will represent both a specific country or culture, as well as the intermingling and spaces between these worlds.


Through works of photography, painting, mixed media, and installation, artist and public will meet on the streets to explore and extract the many interpretations of our identity, the connections we have to one another and our community, and what it really means to be an American.
