Thirty works were selected by curator, activist and art historian Carol A. Wells, who also serves as the founder and executive director of the Center for Study of Political Graphics.
Chosen artists address the shifting meanings of freedom and equality, censorship and civil liberties. Using art as a vehicle for the discussion of political issues has a rich history, at times shrouded in censorship. Please join us as 23 artists converse on questions of democracy.

Action Alert item from 9 to 5 National Association of Working Women:
On June 10, 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed into law the Equal Pay Act, a law intended to end gender-based pay discrimination. After 48 years, the pay gap sits at 77 cents on the dollar. The Paycheck Fairness Act, which came extremely close to passing in the last Congress, would reaffirm our country's commitment to equal pay for equal work. It would restore, as Kennedy put it, a "structure basic to democracy."
