Artist / activist: speaking truth to power

September 3鈥揇ecember 14, 2024

Art can be a powerful tool for political, social and cultural change. This exhibition features 40 artworks by 39 artists from around the globe who have used their talents to fight for civil rights, social justice and environmental protections, and against political oppression, economic inequality and war. The artworks range in date from the early 1900s to the early 2020s and include a mix of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and three-dimensional objects. All of the artworks in the exhibition belong to the permanent collection of the Kruizenga Art Museum. Eight of the artworks are recent acquisitions that have never previously been displayed at the museum.

ABOUT OUR EXHIBITIONS

The Kruizenga Art Museum galleries are typically installed with a mix of temporary exhibitions and permanent collection displays. These exhibitions and displays are planned to complement course offerings in the college鈥檚 academic curriculum and usually change, partially or completely, at the beginning of each semester.

The museum鈥檚 exhibitions are further augmented by lectures, artist demonstrations, film series, musical concerts, dance and theater performances and other relevant educational programs. An endowment gift from Holland residents Dave and Jane Armstrong provides funding for at least one exhibition-related lecture every year, while other programs are made possible through annual gifts and campus partnerships.
