August 26 – October 7, 2017
Art of Dissent, an exhibit curated by Leslye Arian, featuring the art of Gary and Laura Dumm, Liz Maugans, and Michelangelo Lovelace. These keen observers of the world around them express their dissatisfaction with the status quo: an abusive culture, economic inequities, and polarizing political winds blowing across our country. The Art of Dissent is alive and well in Shaker Heights and illustrates just what irks these artists. Explore where your own flashpoints ignite.
