Opening Reception: Friday, January 12, 2024 from 7-8:30pm
West Windsor Arts and Art Against Racism, (both 501(c)(3) organizations), present “Manifesting Beloved Community,” a juried exhibition of work exploring the relationship of community health with race, racism, and efforts to create an antiracist society.
We invited artists to visualize what it means to create or live in a nation or world designed around social and economic justice beyond the ills of structural racism. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “Beloved Community” represents a global vision where all people share in the wealth of a healed planet.
