The "One Hour of Art Power"  event is designed to create a space for meaningful dialogue between artists and students. Our goal is to highlight the power of art as a form of personal expression, resilience, and cultural storytelling. By featuring artists from different generations and backgrounds, we aim to emphasize the diversity of artistic voices and the shared experiences that connect us through creative practice.

Students will have the unique opportunity to engage with artists who approach their work from vastly different perspectives, yet are united by a shared commitment to art, strength, and storytelling. We hope this event will inspire emerging creatives, foster open discussion, and celebrate the impact of art across time and identity.
