Some of the artists will be on-hand to meet and share more about their journey behind their artistic creation; The Evening Exhibition (6 - 8:30 PM) will include light refreshments and appetizers.

The various modalities of artwork (paintings, collages, photography, digital illustrations, and poetry) featured focus on three key themes: Resilience and Sources of Hope Through Adversity; A Sense of Connection and Community; and the Diversity of the Student Identity & Process of Self-Discovery.
