SOS Art 2022 Exhibit

Presented by Art Academy of Cincinnati and SOS ART CINCINNATI at Art Academy of Cincinnati

Now in its twentieth year, SOS ART 2022 presents for 17 days an art show and event of creative expressions for peace and justice.

More than 150 Greater Cincinnati artists will participate in this year’s SOS ART event at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, from Friday, June 24th to Sunday, July 10th, 2022. The exhibit will also include miniprints on peace and justice by more than 40 artists from all over the USA.

Organizer and founder, Saad Ghosn of the University of Cincinnati, and other board members of SOS ART, have coordinated the art event of paintings, sculptures, photographs, prints, installations, videos, dance performances and discussions on current issues of peace and justice.

The event is a kaleidoscopic community view on the sociopolitical world. Works by local artists make powerful and diverse statements in support of justice and peace locally, nationally and worldwide.

The opening night, which includes introductory remarks, music, and a potluck reception, is Friday, June 24, 6 - 9pm. Closing is on Sunday July 10, 3 to 6pm, with artists walk and talk, a dance performance, an artist get together and a potluck. On Thursday July 7 from 7 to 9pm is an event of art responses to racial discrimination and violence.

The visual art may be seen every day during the length of the show, Monday to Sunday from 9am to 9pm.

The entire program is free and open to the public.
