“It’s a charged political climate” says Roland Ramos, head curator of the POLITrix exhibition. “There are so many strong feelings related to this waning administration. In many ways, artists express what the layman can not.” “We are also providing a valuable outlet for artists” says Amy Bauer, co-curator for POLITrix.

POLITrix is a week long art exhibition showcasing the works of a myriad of contemporary artists.

It is important to note that POLITrix will not focus on local politics, but should instead be viewed as a political barometer in this year of election.
