    The Open Door Gallery presents "Shades of Inclusion" now through November 13, 2015.  Artist Leaders from Arts Connect International unpack what inclusion means to each of them through their respective work.  The show beckons the viewer to interact with the nebulous term of inclusion, asking each of us to examine our own inclusionary bias, opening the term for critique, investigation and building.  Above all, the exhibit is a celebration of the diversity found in our local and international communities, utilizing art as a catalyst for multi-dimensional conversations on inclusion.

    Arts Connect International is building the preeminent model for arts entrepreneurship; cultivating and connecting leaders in the field committed to cultural and social inclusion.  Shades of Inclusion showcases the work of seven Artist Leaders who focus on multiple art forms, geographical locations and aspects of inclusion.

    Shades of Inclusion events:

    Living Room Performance: 9/17/15, 6:00-8:00pm

    Artist Talk and Reception: 10/2/15, 6:00-10:00pm

    #ArtBar: 11/5/15, 5:00-7:00pm
