Students' exhibit celebrates human rights

On Thursday, Jan. 17, the Art for Human Rights Exhibit opened at the Redtail Gallery on Oak and Sixth. On display is artwork by high school and middle school students with human rights themes.

I was very moved by the thoughts expressed, and truly amazed at the artistic quality of many of the works of art. I was inspired also to meet some of the young artists and left feeling optimistic about a future that such hands will help to shape.

The exhibit will continue for the next two weeks and be open on Mondays through Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. I would recommend that you see it.
