Running through August 14, the Truth & Inspiration Visual Art Exhibition – held at Cincinnati Art Museum, National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and Cincinnati Museum Center – features impactful visual art by recipients of ArtsWave’s Black and Brown Artist Program.
If you look closely at the work in the exhibition, you’ll see that there is pain and heartache. Skepticism. Futility. But also Hope. Imagination. Commitment. These are emotional drivers we can all connect to. If we care about a future where we value all people and all contributions, it starts right here.
Included in this exhibition are the following Artwork and Artists:
Funding and curation comes through ArtsWave’s Black and Brown artist program. ArtsWave, the region’s engine for the arts, created the program to provide financial support to artists of color in the Cincinnati region to continue to interpret the themes of our times. Each featured artist has created artwork that captures the themes of “truth” and/or “reconciliation.” They were also asked to involve an aspect of collaboration with community members and other partners. This allowed the public to participate in reconciling the moment and imagining a more just and equitable future for the Cincinnati region through the arts.
As you encounter each piece, we invite you to place yourself in the narrative. Inside each piece is a fellow human’s experience. Someone’s “truth.” How is your experience like theirs? How is it different? Each person will see something different, but it’s in that reflection and understanding that we begin to bridge what divides us.
