"Art = Freedom" is a powerful exhibition exploring creativity as liberation—where identity is reclaimed, healing begins, and voices rise.
About this Event

“Art = Freedom” explores creativity as a declaration of ourselves and our empowerment—both personally and collectively.

This exhibition invites artists whose work serves as a journey of self-discovery, healing, and affirmation, reflecting the human desire to realize one’s fullest potential. At the same time, the exhibition acknowledges that personal empowerment does not exist in isolation; it resonates outward, challenging systems, inspiring communities, and amplifying marginalized voices. “Art = Freedom” showcases how the act of creating art becomes an act of liberation—where identity is reclaimed, trauma is processed, and purpose is declared.

This exhibit features the works of Memphis-based artists who are finalists for the Frances Dancy Hooks Art Award.

Visit the Dr. Ralph Faudree Exhibit Space in the Benjamin L. Hooks Institute for Social Change on the 11th floor of Wilder Tower. Take in the beautiful views of the city and the artwork inspired by the experience of those who live, work, and create here. Parking is available in the University of Memphis guest lot accessible from Patterson Ave. Light hors d'oeuvres and beverages served.
