Making Art/Making Community

Opening Reception March 8, 5-8pm March 8th-April 29th, 2018   Artists are problem solvers and thinkers- imagining alternative realities and solutions for living.

These artists pull tactics from social science, psychology, education and design thinking. Referred to as “social practice” or “relational aesthetics” these artists use human relations as their artistic medium rather than a traditional independent creative practice.
