Announcing Students Draw the Line ... Against Prejudice
NAAAP Atlanta is proud to be a community partner for one of the most powerful weapons Atlanta has in the fight against intolerance. This is a multi-grade art exhibit of works promoting tolerance created by a diverse palette of schools across Atlanta.
In what might be considered a sheer stroke of genius, students from around Atlanta are banding together to promote their convictions about tolerance and acceptance - and, in turn, helping to end the many ways that stereotypes, fear and prejudice can paint ugly misconceptions of those who are different than we.
Students Draw the Line...Against Prejudice is a compelling art exhibit from students attending various public, private and religious schools (elementary through high) across Atlanta. As provocative as it is progressive, its purpose is to engage and enlighten viewers to the many areas where prejudice can permeate and corrupt, while calling immediate attention to this growing epidemic on a national and local level.
Ultimately, the exhibit will get people thinking, get people talking, and help trigger shifts in perception and attitude around our city.
The "Students Draw the Line...Against Prejudice" Exhibit will be held on:
January 24th to February 13th at the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art
4484 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30319
Phone: 404-261-1441
Regular museum hours: Tuesday - Sunday from Noon - 5:00pm
