Join us for an exhibition of new work by Jia Wang. Jia’s work explores the traumatic memories that are prevalent in a family. Examining and displaying how trauma is revealed through complex family relationships and how it alters an individual and a family’s identity when visualized. Her work addresses both a personal and cultural perspectives, through site-specific installation comprised of video, collage, and photographic images. 
Join us in the Screening Room at Crosstown Arts for a new exhibition of work by Wang Chen. Chen's work will also be exhibited on the pop-out walls in the East Atrium.

Open call to visual artists in any medium whose use of color is a primary consideration in their work. Our senses are affected by the vibrations of color immediately and intrinsically.
