Opening Reception, Friday, May 9, 6-8pm

With the upcoming Presidential election looming, The Society of Arts and Crafts is taking its own political poll, of sorts, by inviting a select group of artists to present their current ideas on politics. Exhibited work will comment upon a broadly interpreted ³politics² and will tackle issues as diverse as: the environment, consumerism, race, religion, security, sexuality, terrorism, war.
