When faced with discrimination, inequity, or loss, hope can conjure action, motivate and inspire. As a response to current events such as environmental change, social issues, political turmoil, or their own personal suffering, artists convey their vision for what the future may hold. Using adversity as a conductor for creation and art as a platform for communicating this exhibition represents the diverse ways artists visualize and convey their vision of hope.
