September 24, 2021 - December 31, 2021
Held over for an additional month in 2022.
Introduction by Laudelina Martinez
A group of six well-established artists bring work to this exhibition that firmly demonstrates a sense of trust in our collective futures, whether because of divine intervention or the determination of human endeavor. As we move through the immediate threat that this pandemic presents to the world, a call for blessings is either a prayer, a cry that establishes an expectation for an eventual solution, or a deeply felt hopefulness in our ability to survive yet another crucible.
