CityArts in collaboration with Alexis Kayla Creations presents the Art-ivism Exhibition. An opportunity for local artists to exhibit their artwork and raise awareness about issues that are important to them. Art-ivism is the combination of art and activism and the use of creative mediums as a means for social change. The concept of art-ivism has been integral to the evolution of the role that art and artists play in society. It has empowered artists to use their talents for a greater purpose and elicit change within their community for decades.
