Manifest Hope
The Manifest Hope Gallery show ran from Aug 25-28 in Denver, CO during the Democratic National Convention. The gallery featured dozens of artist. In fact, over 1000 pieces were entered into a contest to be be displayed: “Manifest Hope, along with its online partner MoveOn.org, challenges the artistic world to engage their local communities in a significant and meaningful way, by inviting all artists to compete for a chance to present their works alongside these acclaimed and celebrated artists.”
For those who did not have a chance to attend
Over the next few days, we will feature some of the finalists and contest winners.
