Opening Reception for Soapbox at Berkeley Art Center

2014 Juried Exhibition
Selected by Boots Riley and Steven Wolf

Berkeley Art Center invited artists to submit work that represents, challenges or incites us to get up on our soapboxes and share our ideas, our passions, and our intentions to change the world. Selected by artist and activist Boots Riley and gallerist Steven Wolf, the work in this exhibition is activated, and positions the viewer to participate in the rapidly changing social, political, economic and artistic fields.

Exhibition runs June 28- August 10, 2014
