New Exhibition: Black, White & Shades of Grey
December 22, 2021
Get ready for this new exhibition opening up early next year on site at the Kellogg Art Gallery! "Black, White, & Shades of Grey" features the artwork of several local, national and international artists of various ethnic backgrounds, colors and creeds that use mostly white, black, grey or sepia tones in their work to express their particular point of view. All address topics of the current socio-political, racial and ethnic, gender-based and cultural issues concerning many Americans today. As a campus with a very diverse student body —with over 80% of the campus student body representing of people of color, including mixed-race and international students– this exhibition is intended as a response to a polarized climate, in order to contribute to the dialog, and create an opportunity to influence and empower people of all ages, shades and colors by seeing artists like themselves represented, and by showcasing visual voices that are not always seen nor heard. Participating artists are Mariona Barkus, Chess Brodnick, Claudia Casarino, Gerald Clarke, Keiko Fukazawa, Mark Steven Greenfield, Bryan Ida, Walterio Iraheta, Tracy Keza, and Annu Palakunnathu Matthew.
