Color: A Painting Exhibition Against Hatae

Santa Fe University of Art and Design (SFUAD) students are using their art to fight for social justice. "Color: A Painting Exhibition Against Hate," features a group of SFUAD students who are using their art to fight for social justice. All proceeds from the show will be donated to Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF). The artists' reception is Saturday, March 18, from 4-7 p.m. at the ART.i.factory. The exhibition shows through March 28. This exhibition was inspired by SFUAD faculty member Sarah Stolar’s oil painting class studio course, Color and Technique. This course allows students to explore all forms of color as a guide for self-expression, including using painting as a cathartic experience of the current social climate. The exhibition includes pieces with variation with color, which includes vibrancy of colors, natural colors, signal color, and color expression in black and white. “These SFUAD student artists went above and beyond to create artwork that highlights each individual artist’s style, symbolism, and unique perspective,” Sarah says. “During this process this group pushed their boundaries by expanding their skills, as well as broadening their artistic perspective.” Exhibiting artists include Melissa A. Carroll, Ashley Garcia, Cyan Paige Gonzalez, Darian Haddon, Emma Leverett, Sarah Lewandowski, Elexsis Miller, Charley Montano, Romario A. Powell, Jorge A. Lozano Rocha, Danielle Sanchez, and Josh VelleKamp.
