Art + Issues: Finding Community in Uncertain Times
The Hunter Museum of American Art is partnering with the Epilepsy Foundation for an educational event to address the meaning of societal standards and how we perceive others based on these qualifications.
Shawnessey Cargile of the Epilepsy Foundation and curators from the museum will be displaying a variety of art work for patrons to explore throughout the galleries with “Art + Issues: Finding Community in Uncertain Times.”
The objective is that the art will help others explore their own presentation of various types of differences and the ways of responding to them.
The goal is to bring awareness to the community of societal standards and how the presentations can cause conflict. This hour-long community discussion and gallery is a way the Chattanooga community can get the ball rolling in addressing a variety of issues here in our hometown in a professional and elegant way.
The gallery is open from 6 to 7 p.m. on Thursday. The Hunter Museum of American Art is located at 10 Bluff View in downtown Chattanooga. Admission for this hour-long event is free.
