There is an election this November 6th.
And it also happens to be one of the most important in U.S. history.

EBK Gallery is excited to present a very timely exhibit that will run during this most important election.

The exhibit is a group show of one word: vote, a most powerful word.
A word that is an act, a symbol, an object, a possession, a weapon, a wish. It is a super power.

On view will be new work by selected artists who have each created an artwork of the word “Vote”.
Given the visibility of the gallery from the street it seemed obvious to have a show like this running during the mid-term elections.
Rather than being a reactionary or activist based exhibit, the word “vote” has a unifying civic intent to it. Consequently each artist has their own way to express the nature of this word, and what it means to them from their perspective.
