ABOUT THIS YEAR’S EXHIBIT

Arts Every Day is proud to present its 9th Annual 10X10 Exhibit titled: CULTURE: Symbols, Heroes & Rituals. Culture can be defined as a set of shared beliefs, values, and behaviors that define a group of people. This includes but is not limited to language, customs, and beliefs about relationships and roles. We encourage students to reflect on what aesthetics, traditions, and identifiers define their culture. Art Every Day’s 10×10 Exhibit connects young artists and rising arts leaders with collaborative exhibition opportunities, working alongside local curators and arts education advocates. What does Culture mean to you? How do you define your own culture? What are ways you share and learn about other cultures?
