Free at Last: Journey of Hope


You won't have to travel far to see this art exhibit; it's on display on the first floor of the convention center through October 31st! The 60 works, including weavings, crafted handbags, ceramics, drawings, and paintings, were all created by recent immigrants who live in the greater St. Cloud area. Created during a Hands Across the World program in conjunction with 5 local artists, the artwork and 14 accompanying biographical essays tell the often traumatic and emotionally turbulent stories of their immigrant experiences.
