About the Theme: Visions of Solidarity

We often hear stories about how divided we are: West Coast versus East Coast, North versus South, blue state versus red state, pro-this versus anti-that. When we look closer—at the community level—we see that solidarity abounds.

One definition of solidarity is “the mutual support within a group,” another is “a fellowship stemming from shared values and goals.” However you define it, you will find solidarity across the American West—in the past as well as the present. Solidarity has supported migrations, political movements, cultural revolutions, industries, fashion movements, and so much more.

Autry Classroom Curators would like to thank ArTES Magnet School DJs, Los Fotos Project, Self Help Graphics for their participation, U.S. Bank for sponsorship of the event and all the students that submitted artwork and the teachers who supported them.
