For all ages
Artists often express themselves through self-portraits, and sometimes these representations go beyond just how they look. Family Tree II by Sadie Barnette features family photos and colorful prints organized in a rainbow of colors arching over a holographic couch. This artwork represents Barnette in relation to the traditions and people that shape her identity.
Artists of all ages are invited to the Hess Family Theater to make an expanded self-portrait that includes the people, places, and values that help shape what makes you YOU!
