Statement from The Art Garage on Art and Freedom of Expression:
The Art Garage accepts and displays visual artwork regardless of subject matter. We realize that some artwork may be controversial or offensive to some, but we stand by all people’s freedom to express their world views through cultural and creative avenues. The visual, performing, and literary arts are some of the world’s strongest and most effective instruments of personal and collective freedom. The Art Garage is in an influential and pivotal position through its opportunity to provide a platform to all artists, issues, and subject matter. We will not discriminate and are open to all perspectives, cultures, minorities, faith-based organizations, etc. With public support, all involved in our local arts community can actively support a free and democratic creative culture.
We are also a community arts organization which recognizes the rights of our community members to choose whether or not to expose themselves or their loved ones to certain artwork, exhibits, and performances. When appropriate, The Art Garage will give advance notice on our website or on a sign within our facility notifying you of the exhibition of artwork with potentially controversial content.
