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.
