The Chicago Alliance of Visual Artists (CAVA) is pleased to present Collective Awakenings, a juried show of individual perspectives. Even though we are all going through those same times together, we each have our own separate understanding of the events and how they affect us. Each of us has had to face the questions and struggles brought forward by this turbulent time in our nation's history. Our hope is that your eyes will be opened as you see what we have discovered. Works in all media, and springing from all inspiration, are welcome!

Media Accepted: Drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, collage, photography, fiber art, and 3D objects (sculpture, and ceramics) that can be wall hung or displayed on pedestals.
