Threads of Resistance by The Artist The Artist Circle Alliance Pdf
We seek to address current issues including climate change, sexual assault, immigration, the refugee crisis, racism, and sexism. The art in this exhibition expresses a range of emotions from anger and sadness, to our hope for positive change.All profits from the exhibition catalog goes to the Artist Circle Alliance, LLC to cover costs associated with the exhibit. Once all expenses are paid at the end of the exhibit's run, anything left over will be donated to four charities: the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), Planned Parenthood, RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), and IRC (International Rescue Committee). Through much of history, quilts have spoken to many political causes, including the temperance movement, women's suffrage, nuclear proliferation,and AIDS awareness. Quilts have always been a means of expression for people whose political voices were silenced.Art is about communication, and the makers of these works are eager to share their viewpoints. Agree? Disagree? We invite you to join us as we examinethese issues and consider differing opinions with civilized, constructive conversation. We hope to ultimately gain a better understanding of oneanother's perspectives and to foster continued change in a positive direction.
