The Pawtucket Arts Collaborative is hosting its annual multicultural exhibit entitled “Crossing Borders: Redefining the Dream” featuring fourteen artists and two architectural firms. The goal of the project is to promote civic engagement and dialog on the theme of immigration. Two receptions will be held in conjunction with the exhibit.
The exhibit runs from May 11 to June 21, 2008 at the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative Gallery, Both the gallery and the theatre are located at 175 Main Street, Pawtucket, RI in the Blackstone Valley Visitor Center 175 Main Street, Pawtucket, RI. Free parking at the
Featured Artists are Pablo Alvarez, German Betzalel Ortiz Cadena, John Clark, Iris Donnelly, Donald Gerola, Ana Flores, Ann Johansson, Bruce Kaplan, Eric Owen Moss Architects, Clare Nesdall, Agnes Novak, Anthony Osorio, Dusan Petran, Helena M. Stockar, and Tsao & McKown Architects.
The exhibit Crossing Borders: Redefining the Dream is presented in the belief that painters, photographers, sculptors, puppeteers, guitar makers, lace makers, and architects can promote civic discourse. Some of the images and objects created by these artists reflect directly on the experience of leaving one’s home, crossing a border, and settling in a new place. A percentage of the sale proceeds will benefit The Latina Leadership Institute.
This exhibit is part of a larger collaborative project developed jointly by the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative and Hera Gallery with support from many individuals and community organizations. Concurrent events will include music, films, and a panel discussion. Exhibit dates and additional information can be found at www.heragallery.org.
The Gallery is open 7 days a week from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Blackstone Valley Visitor Center, 175 Main Street, Pawtucket, RI, 401-724-2200.
Founded in October, 2000, the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative is dedicated to supporting, promoting, and developing the highest level of the arts for the community and its artists. PAC does this by creating awareness, education, and involvement through its members.
