Ongoing Conversation: Drawn Together

A collaborative arts project curated by Soude Dadras

On view: June 9th through July 3rd

Reception: June 9th, 6-8pm

For many of us, our lives have been turned upside-down by the current public health emergency, but the fundamental human need to create remains intense – even if it is on pause for some of us momentarily. I urge you to join in bringing attention to the power of the human spirit through creativity across the globe with our current project Drawn Together. Drawn Together is a collaboration of hope, of honor, and of storytelling for these extraordinary times.
The goal of this project is to record for the world how the creative community persevered together through the tumult of change, even though we remained largely apart.
