The Journey: Public Reception

Queen City Art and International House invited immigrant and refugee artists living in the Charlotte region to apply for The Journey, an exhibition exploring the experiences, stories, and perspectives of those who have made the United States their home.

​

This project focuses on the use of visual arts to illustrate the harrowing, complicated, and hope-filled journeys our immigrant and refugee neighbors take to come to the United States. Through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, fiber art, mixed media, and other visual art forms, artists are encouraged to share personal stories of migration, identity, belonging, cultural heritage, resilience, adaptation, and community.

This year we are highlighting the stories of 40 artists from 21 countries!​
