Venues
Guests can attend physical exhibits at five sites. The main site is the former Sears building in Frandor. There will also be satellite exhibits at Impression 5, Lansing Art Gallery and Education Center, Reach, and the Refugee Development Center. Sometime soon after the physical exhibits there will be an online version displaying the art from those exhibits.
The pieces in the collection were thoughtfully selected based on the mission and purpose of the specific sites where they will be displayed. Each venue tells a different story of creative expression in the face of systemic injustice.
