“Manifesting Beloved Community” at West Windsor Arts Center

“TROUBLED WATER”: This painting by Brandon Moultrie is featured in “Art Against Racism: Manifesting Beloved Community,” on view through February 26 at the West Windsor Arts Center. A hybrid opening reception is scheduled for Sunday, January 16 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Beloved Community,” “Art Against Racism: Manifesting Beloved Community” imagines what it would be like to live in a world where social and economic justice flourish and structural racism ceases to exist. The art represents a global vision where all people share in the wealth of a healed planet. Submissions that speak to or re-envision society’s transformation into a world of healthy people, relationships, and communities in personal or public contexts were encouraged.

Presented in partnership with Art Against Racism, the exhibit runs through February 26 at West Windsor Arts Center and also online. An opening reception on January 16 from 2 to 4 p.m. will be held at the arts center and also streamed live. Juror Sonia E. Barrett will join virtually and exhibiting artists will be on hand to discuss their work. Registration for the in-person event will be limited and COVID-19 protocols will be followed.

Exhibiting Artists include Zakia Aziz Ahmed, Sumi, 7oveChild, Joann Donatiello, Ilene Dube, Janet Felton, Veronica Foreman, Spriha Gupta, Barry Hantman, Marzena Haupa, Saundra Johnson, LoMo, Glenda Mah, David Meadow, Brandon Moultrie, Susan Parris, Felicia L.
