Running through Feb. 28, Into the Light is a collaborative and inclusive art project. The title comes from our EA Chapel theme, “Out of the Darkness, Into the Light,” and is inspired by Anila Agha's "Intersections." Through the power of light in art, we celebrate our community’s resilience, strength, diversity, and optimism. The theme also speaks to cultural inclusion through the examination of historical precedents and imagery.
The exhibition will be located in the Crawford Campus Center Gallery and around the EA campus. Artwork created by EA students of all ages will feature light, shadow, sound, and incorporate sensory experiences. Stop by the gallery to get involved!
