This exhibit brings together a wide range of media, styles, concerns, and sensibilities from artists whose inspiration is the immigration experience. Walking through the exhibit, you will experience the history each artist brings to their art and how their culture and heritage resonates through their work. Curators Susan Bolton and Tony Ortega suggest that visitors “observe each piece, and consider how these artists’ styles and cultures contribute to this exhibition and to our nation as a whole.” “We are very excited to present this topic from an artists’ perspective and provide an opportunity for dialogue in our community,” says Leona Lazar, Executive Director.
