The UW School of Social Work Art Committee, in partnership with Seattle’s C Art Gallery,
is presenting a vibrant exhibit illustrating how Africa has challenged, enhanced and influenced Puget Sound artists through the continent’s color, patterns, imagery and subject matter. Africa provides a subtle influence and, at times, significant impact on the communities where we live. This is evident in the news we read, in our local economies, and in our reflections on our diverse neighborhoods. This influence also shapes the works of local artists featured in this exhibit.
This exhibit—now on display through Feb. 1, 2016 in the School of Social Work first floor gallery—is curated by C Art Gallery and reflects its mission to present and to promote artists of different cultural backgrounds to encourage acceptance and appreciation of cultural differences.
An artists’ reception is open to the public on Thursday, Nov. 5, 4:30 – 7:30 p.m.
