Event Description:
The School of Art is pleased to welcome artists from The Color Network featured in ‘Voices for Change’ exhibition at the Fine Arts Center Gallery.
Voices for Change is currently on display and open to the public through Dec. 4. A virtual panel discussion with five of the artists will be held Dec. 3 from 6:30-8 p.m.
Curator and writer Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy will facilitate the panel and discussion with artists Natalia Arbelaez, Adam Chau, April Felipe, Salvador Jiménez-Flores and Yinka Orafidiya.
The Color Network is an organization with a mission to aid in the advancement of people of color in ceramic arts through development, networking and mentorship. The exhibition features nine artists from the organization.
Voices for Change aims to speak of racial identity in both overt and subversive ways; this coding of culture intends to play on many levels, including a window for the group they represent and those who have no experience in marginalization.
The artists in Voices for Change come from various backgrounds, ages and ethnicities. All artists of color, they are active voices in their communities eager to share their message. While their plights are different and they have faced their own obstacles while navigating the art world, they believe that when people speak up for each other their collective voices are stronger.
The Fine Arts Center Gallery is open Monday thru Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. During the upcoming holiday break, Nov. 23-27, please contact Maryamsadat Amirvaghefi, mamirvag@uark.edu, to schedule a viewing Monday-Wednesday, normal gallery hours will resume Nov. 30. |
