Public Conscience through Graphics and Illustration

At a time when our country’s social and political future is perhaps its most uncertain, the latest group exhibition in Heights Arts’ main gallery is perfectly timed to explore and express both hopes and anxieties. Public Conscience through Graphics and Illustration showcases local artists with a shared graphic influence and a mutual interest in contemporary socio-political issues. Public Conscience features work by emerging and established local artists (including this writer). Co-curated by local artists Leslye Arian and David King, the exhibit opens at Heights Arts with a reception from 6 to 9 tonight and remains on view through Sunday, April 16. Admission is free.
