The exhibit also hosted up and coming Spoken Word artists Ebony Donnley and Jessica Smith, current UCLA undergraduates.

The Art Series strives to promote the arts on campus by educating, informing and inspiring students through a variety of artistic disciplines. This series will be dedicated to working with student organizations and artists to curate the Kerckhoff Art Gallery and showcase a new exhibition every week. The weekly exhibits will highlight the talent of students and localartists in the mission of creating dialogue on relevant social issues.




The exhibit ran from Feb 22 to Feb 26th, with the previously mentioned opening event on Feb 22nd from 5-7pm, in the Kerckhoff Art Gallery, on the UCLA Campus.
