Truth to Power 3

Third Friday in Durham brought me back to the Pleiades Gallery for the Truth To Power 3 exhibit. This is the third annual show about social justice. My piece Veterano$ was juried in by UNC Chapel Hill professor of Art Elin o'Hara Slavick.

The African American Cultural Festival of Raleigh and Wake County, in partnership with ArtsNow and Pleiades Gallery had an open mic across the street at the Five Points Plaza. It was a good night for Art. 

I was pleased to see my work up with prominent NC artists. And I was able to speak to a few people that were already familiar with my work. Paper Chop Shop's "work is everywhere!"

The Jury Is Out

So excited! I got into a couple more juried exhibitions. I feel my journey as an artist is moving forward.
