Show Us Your Activism
June 11 – June 22 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum will hold an exhibition in the Orangerie featuring contemporary art work with the opening reception scheduled for Saturday, June 11 at 2 p.m. and on view through Wednesday, June 22, 2022.
The focus of the exhibition will be on social activism and should not be thought of as literal, but used instead as a creative launching point. Social activist art uses public spaces to address social issues and to encourage community and public participation. Does your art reflect your community activism? How are you active in your community – at the hyper local level or do you think globally? Artwork can aim to effect social change, foster participation in dialogue, raise consciousness, and empower individuals and communities. Artists may exhibit up to two works.
