Senator Sanders has started what he calls a "political revolution," driving one of the most successful grassroots political campaigns of our time. As Sanders continues to force the debate on critical issues affecting all Americans, artists are sure to play a crucial role in getting people to engage, learn and become inspired. Income inequality, climate change, racial justice, immigration, and affordable education, are just some of the hot button issues that serve as the inspiration for these works from both international and locally acclaimed artists included in the show.
Limited prints of artwork found in the exhibition will be sold on Bernie Sanders' website, with all proceeds donated to Bernie Sanders 2016.
