“Call Freedom: Artists Speak” presented by Angel City Culture Quest in collaboration with Range Projects Gallery in Los Angeles will feature a powerful Call to Freedom during its closing reception, Sept. 27.

In a refreshing twist highlighting literary art, the closing reception will be presenting readings by the poets who submitted works, juried by Melina Paris, plus other prominent Los Angeles based poets. Join this salon and view more than 30 visual and literary artists’ expressions on freedom.

“Call Freedom: Artists Speak” invokes humanity’s inalienable right to ‘CALL FREEDOM’ and thereby actualize it and speak it, in our communities and our lives. The exhibition explores the ways humanity reaches for and lives in freedom, both inwardly and in the world. Most importantly, it reminds people of their collective power.
