The pieces exhibited examine the views and visions of each artist and the relationship between artistic creativity and their associated life and career vantage points and cycles. The selected works are representative of the stature of the old masters, and the rising influence of the younger ones. The exhibit is a testimony that demonstrates how art, from various perspectives, can inspire and enact change, creating unbridled energy and hope. The notable goal of this exhibit involves a recollection of the role of these artists allowing the audience to both discover and rediscover stimulating exchanges of ideas through art. It is hoped that this project becomes an enterprise, which will inspire and create positive energies, empathy, and new understandings.
