The richness and diversity of the exhibition features work by six Milwaukee artists: Blanche Brown, Rhonda Gatlin-Hayes, Chrystal Denise Gillon, Ruthie Joy, Tia Richardson, and 2019 City of Milwaukee Artist of the Year Rosemary Ollison. While their formal training and choice of media vary, these six artists are united in purpose: championing social justice and civil rights, giving voice to the voiceless, expressing spirituality, and coping with trauma. Their work reflects not just their personal beliefs, but also their care and compassion toward the wider community.
