Cultural Mosaic: A Celebration of Diversity
Gallery X is excited to announce an upcoming art exhibition that aims to showcase and celebrate the rich tapestry of diversity within the creative community of New Bedford. Artists of all backgrounds and identities are invited to submit their artwork for consideration in this special showcase.
Through this exhibition, we seek to represent the range of different cultures and backgrounds of the area and highlight the beauty and strength found in our diverse identities, cultures, and experiences. Whether through visual art, photography, sculpture, mixed media, or any other medium, we encourage artists to explore themes of inclusion, representation, cultural heritage, social justice, and the shared human experience.
Join with us in celebrating the beauty of diversity and the power of art to unite us all. Together, let’s create an inclusive space where every voice is heard, and every story is honored.
