WE SEE YOU: Diversity Equity and Inclusion in 2024 Juried Annual Exhibition at the Oak Park Art League. Friday, May 31 - June 28, 2024. Jurors: Pia Cruzalegui & Mia Garcia-Hills. During this election year, the Oak Park Art League will host a national juried exhibition that aims to spotlight the values of the broader Oak Park community that celebrates inclusion, diversity and equity, during this time in our nation’s history when these very ideals are blatantly under attack. The artworks will be selected from a national call to underrepresented voices from BIPOC populations, refugees, disabled, unhoused, incarcerated, queer, and transgender artists and reflect these experiences at this particular time when diversity, equity and inclusion are suppressed more than ever before. This exhibition acknowledges that each artist’s journey is different and aims to celebrate contemporary expressions of artists from diverse backgrounds, identities and communities, understanding that these terms encompass a rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and perspectives. - An online exhibition of works will be hosted on OPAL's website and represent all entries.
