Join us for a reception and artists' talks celebrating the Summer 2025 Overture Galleries. This summer’s exhibitions explore the power of voice—what it means to be seen, heard and represented. Through personal stories, political expression and shared imagination, artists speak out and invite others in. From collaborative projects to solo reflections, each exhibition highlights a unique perspective. Together, they show how many voices, when gathered, can tell a deeper story, create connection and strengthen community. These exhibitions remind us that art is not just expression—it’s participation, presence and a call to listen.
