During Pride Month in this critical election year, the Oak Park Art League (OPAL) aims to spotlight the values of the broader community; celebrating inclusion, diversity and equity, during this time in our nation’s history when these very ideals are blatantly under attack.
The artworks are by underrepresented voices from BIPOC populations, refugee, veteran, disabled, unhoused, incarcerated, queer, and transgender artists and reflect these experiences at this particular time when diversity, equity and inclusion are suppressed more than ever before.
This exhibition acknowledges that each artist’s journey is different and aims to celebrate contemporary expressions of artists from diverse backgrounds, identities and communities, understanding that these terms encompass a rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and perspectives.
