​For our  “Raíces de Resistencia” exhibition we invited artists to contribute artwork that addresses and speaks against policies that continue to challenge human rights in our society; immigration rights, health care, reproductive rights, climate change, transgender rights, white supremacy, gender equality, gun control, sexual harassment, voting rights, discrepancies in class and education, and more. Come and see these thought provoking artists’ interpretations of Resistance!

Opening Celebration Special Event

 

Live assemblage art performance, with musical accompaniment, by guest artist Jimmy Descant at 7 pm. Jimmy will be creating a custom piece of sculpture, on-site! Come and experience Jimmy's unique art performance as he creates, assembles, and completes an original piece of sculpture ready to hang in less than an hour! Calling his style "Western Futurism", Jimmy disassembles vintage mechanical and decorative manufactured goods from the 20th Century and reconstructs them into beautiful statements in art. Come meet Jimmy and expect excitement, noise and lots of sparks, while observing his creative process!
