Chicago Artists Coalition is pleased to present Preview 9: A Boldness to Dare and Try, featuring works of art by Leticia Bernaus, Karen Dana Cohen, Jacquelyn Carmen Guerrero, Alejandro Jimenez-Flores, Tamara Becerra Valdez, and Latham Zearfoss.
The six dynamic visual artists in this exhibition demonstrate a mastery of the formal and conceptual, as tools to advance their creativity and confront social challenges. They are dedicated to their respective crafts and have triumphed in unexpected artistic environments, despite opposition that may stifle their creative expression or personal identity. In various assertions, this group of artists redefines and claims culture and space as her/his/their own, without apology.
