Art as Politics: American Artists Describe the State of the Union

August 14, 2016 Touchstone Gallery
Test Tube USA by Fredrico Ruiz

Test Tube USA by Fredrico Ruiz

Touchstone Gallery’s August 2016 national juried exhibit Art as Politics reflects the “state of the union” as seen through the eyes of artists who don’t often get asked for their views on anything.   The 250 artists who answered the call to make work about the tumultuous 2016 election cycle didn’t disappoint juror Jayme McClellan. They submitted 400 boisterous pieces of art. McClellan chose 127 works by 90 artists. It's an all-media show of wall pieces, video installations and sculpture.
