Kettle Art has been reflecting on the connection between past revolutions and the unrest of today. July 4 and July 14, Independence Day and Bastille Day, are both markers of independence and resistance, that remind us that true freedom is rarely tidy. It's raw, urgent, and born from the refusal to stay silent.

Now, as the world faces inequality, climate crisis, economic uncertainty, information overload, and political disillusionment, a familiar tension rises. Whether through protest, quiet defiance, or artistic expression, the call is clear: something must shift.

This exhibition invites artists to explore that call, not for chaos, but for clarity, courage, and the evolving meaning of freedom. Hate is clearly not the solution as love should always prevail but in uncertain times, art becomes both reflection and rebellion.

Featured artists include Danny Hurley, Richard Ross, Jesse Hernandez, Jack Daw, Mariell Guzman, Justin Clumpner, Hatziel Flores, Melissa Hennings, Cathey Miller, Jason Janik, Dora Zeneth Reynosa, Greg Metz, Jeff Miranda, Beverly Parson White, Mahsa Moein, Marc Dominus, Katrina Rasmussen, Viktor Ortiz, Frank Campagna, and more.

The exhibition will remain on display through August 24.
