AZPA members will be guided through this exhibition with AZPA member and curator Rebecca Ross. In addition, members will hear from the participating artists and see their work presented.The “Made in America” exhibition was conceived as a dynamic response to the themes and ideas woven throughout the musical “Hamilton.” Each artwork is imbued with reflections on American life and its diverse cultures. The attention each artist dedicates to exploring the nation around them invites viewers into scenes that resonate with both familiarity and discovery. Through photography, printmaking and collage, the pieces in this exhibition capture ways in which individual experiences intersect with larger cultural narratives, presenting viewers with encounters that are both personal and universal. The artists featured in “Made in America” share a collective interest in the people, places and things that make the United States unique. Photographers EmilyMatyas and Dean Terasaki explore the immigrant experience. Vivian Spiegelman celebrates personal accomplishments through her photographs of senior athletes. Artist Ron Bimrose uses photography, mixed media and collage to communicate themes of home, family and memory. Photographers Jimmie Allen and Tom Flaherty search out both the loud and quiet moments in our country.

This event is free for AZPA members.
