The University of Arkansas School of Art is pleased to announce the exhibition, VOICES FOR CHANGE: The Color Network. The exhibition will run from October 30 – December 4, 2020. There will be a panel discussion via ZOOM on Thursday, December 3rd from 5:30-7pm. The event is free and open to the public.
VOICES FOR CHANGE brings together 8 artists from The Color Network and their responses to the violent murder of George Floyd and the calls for anti-racist social reform. The Color Network, an organization of BIPOC artists with the mission to aid and advance people of color in the ceramics field, has been active since the 1970’s. While the collective ebbs and flows, the group has remained a steadfast network of artists that continue to fight for equality within the ceramics field and beyond.
