Selected works will be on display at the Lawrence Arts Center from September 17th through September 25th, 2024.</span> <div> <div><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Contributing Artists:</span></span></strong></span></div> </div> <div> <div><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Jane Barnette & Darren Canady</span></span></div> </div> <div> <div><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Hazlett Henderson</span></span></div> </div> <div> <div><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Sara O’Keeffe</span></span></div> </div> <div> <div><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Alejandro Sabillón</span></span></div> </div> <div> <div><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div> </div> <span style="color: #000000;"><em>Supported by the Arts and Humanities Grant from the Achievement and Assessment Institute</em></span>
