Frederick Douglass, one of the most photographed Americans in history, is a name many recognize. But what about Belinda Sutton or Edmonia Lewis? Join us for the opening of this special exhibition, in which we invite visitors to discover the lives and legacies of individuals who may not appear in our textbooks but whose contributions helped shape the American story. 


As we reflect on a nation’s fight for independence 250 years ago, we also look forward—through the eyes of these emerging artists—toward a future shaped by awareness, creativity, and the power of untold stories.

 

Each teen artist from Artists for Humanity has chosen someone who resonates with them personally, crafting thoughtful statements that highlight their connection to their subject. At this opening, hear directly from teen artists and learn more about their process and inspiration. 


View powerful paintings, digital prints, and drawings by young creators at the West End Museum, curated by Artists for Humanity. 


Light refreshments will be available.
