Diversity in Our Lives Exhibition 2019
Jean Tengelsen Gallery May 25th to June 23rd, 2019
The "Rising" painting was a finalist at the Diversity in Our Lives hosted by the Art League of Long Island.
​
In this juried exhibition, artists from the Tri-State area were asked to submit their interpretations of Diversity. Out of 205 entries, 66 works of art were selected for display in the exhibition.
​
The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. The Art League of Long Island hopes, through this exhibition, to encourage understanding of each other and move beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual.
