Expanding the Common Ground: Voices of the Global Majority Art Exhibit at Del Ray Artisans Gallery

Exhibit Dates: October 1–30, 2021

Opening Day: Friday, October 1 from 12-9pm

Expanding the Common Ground: Voices of the Global Majority art exhibit explores what makes us one, seeks the common ground among us, and examines what it means to heal the divides. The world has been designed by institutions, and terms like people of color or minorities serve to divide us and create white vs. non-white or us vs. them paradigms. Local artists and high school students present artworks examining all facets of our diversity and celebrating our unity.

Tickets are available for half-hour viewings on opening day: Friday, October 1 between 12-9pm. Opening day tickets are not required, but ticket holders have priority entry. Find tickets at expanding-common-ground.eventbrite.com
