Yesterday, after uploading my "protesters" drawing to Instagram, my friend Catrina let me know that Works/San Jose, a local non-profit art gallery, had a call-for-art and that my drawing fit the theme. I looked into it and found out it's for a memorial exhibition for George Floyd, Breona Taylor, and the countless other black people who lost their lives due to racism.
From the Works website: "Rather than issue corporate statements, Works seeks to amplify creative voices calling for justice. We ask artists to thoughtfully respond with work for a community exhibition respecting those who have faced the ultimate deadly disrespect." My drawing fit the bill so I submitted it last night. This morning Works/San Jose posted my drawing on their Instagram page. The show is online only, since we're still dealing with Covid, and officially goes live June 19th (Juneteenth) 2020. Comments are closed.
