This edgy and modern art exhibition “Urban Art, A Cultural Exploration” is a show of unique artistry and inspiration and will be on display in the Center's art gallery through July 31, 2011.
With works created by artists from throughout the United States, the exhibit will feature a large range of artistic styles that powerfully express the artists’ visions of our country's youth culture and its relationship with industrial/urban decay.
The works also explore the themes of personal relationships, music, technology, and whimsy in their quest to convey both the inspiring and challenging aspects of living in the urban landscape of modern culture.
