The Nave Gallery (Somerville, MA), in partnership with the Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church invites artists to participate in the curated exhibition Truth Telling: Art in Search of Social Justice.

The visual arts have a unique opportunity to reveal the many injustices that prevent people and the planet from flourishing. Artists in all media are invited to submit images that show or comment on the violation of human dignity or environmental integrity that moves them to anger or compassion.

ABOUT THE CURATOR:
As pastor of CHPC from 2003-2012, Karl Gustafson was an instrumental part of the group that established the Nave Gallery, pushed by his belief that art and religion are friends on the same journey, inspired by the same spirit, responsible for the same truth.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
In May, 2014, the Nave Gallery marked its 10 year anniversary at The Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church. Their support through the years has allowed the Nave to show and support the work of hundreds of artists, while reinforcing our mutual commitment to our strengthening our community through art activism. Truth Telling: Art in Search of Social Justice, isa celebration of this partnership and an assertion that art is a vehicle through which conversations on social change can be held, compelling people to action.
