This Friday Privilege and Consequence opens to the public ⁠and is available for viewing from 11 am - 5 pm! ⁠
⁠
"The artists that make up our exhibition are working on photographic projects that fall in between concept and document; focusing heavily on protest, as well as societal issues plaguing our citizens and landscape. Positively, ideas of growth and self-love are also made evident in the portraits of people trying to figure out where they fit." — Kris Graves, Juror⁠
⁠
The Opening Reception takes place on Saturday, December 4th from 5 - 8pm. ⁠
