Richland Library reactivates The Gallery with familiar exhibit

July 26, 2021

Richland Library is thrilled to reactivate The Gallery at our Main location (1431 Assembly Street) with a familiar exhibit that originally launched less than two weeks before the onset of the pandemic.

Facing Race Together is now on display. It explores the meaning of inclusion and racial equity in our community through the eyes of eight local artists, including: JoAnn Borovicka; Kanae Goji; Lori Isom; Rachelle Kobilarov; Amanda Ladymon; Roxana Sinex; Keith Tolen and Sabrina White.

There are more than 20 pieces, which emphasize the artists’ experiences of living in the minority or facing metaphorical and literal barriers of living in the South. They range from acrylic, silkscreens and textiles to wood, mixed-media and a three-dimensional installation.

Facing Race Together runs through Friday, September 3.
