This exhibit is curated by Sharon H.J. Cheng, an artist working with SLC Arts through the Creatives Rebuild New York grant program. Sharon has put together a series of Town Hall exhibits with the intention of offering a more accessible exhibit series for our creative community. 


Artwork may be created using any 2D medium. Framing, matting, etc is not required as SLC Arts plans to handle installation as a way to make this exhibit more accessible to the community.

Artists will be given the opportunity to discuss their work. If you have any questions regarding this exhibit, please contact Kat Dinneen at kat@slcartscouncil.org.
