#Challengingthecanon
The visual art canon is ever-expanding to include a wider chorus of voices and visions. In the coming months, we will highlight the work of a contemporary artist of color on a (mostly) daily basis. This page will serve as an archive for this project, growing over time to serve as a resource for other visual art educators and art students.
