Hanging by a Thread?

. . . was an artistic challenge to explore the topic of social justice in the broadest sense - racism, sexism, homophobia, global warming, war, domestic violence, all of it, any of it. Artists asked themselves questions such as “What gets me fired up?” and  “What is going on in this world that I want to make a statement about?”  They challenged themselves to do something daring, something on the edge, something to call attention to a cause they care about, something to make the viewer think. The diversity of the work and the topics represent the wide range of issues and feelings that are constantly surfacing in our society. As you view this show, we challenge you to open your mind and heart and think a bit deeper about the issues presented.  What gets you fired up?
