Opening Reception: Saturday, December 6 | 2–4 p.m.
Losinski Gallery, 2nd Floor – Columbus Metropolitan Library, Main Branch
Artists from the Returning Artists Guild (RAG) invite you to witness the emotional and creative labor of imagining a world beyond punishment and incarceration.
Imagining Abolition: Blood, Sweat, and Tears honors the artists whose work emerges from lived experience — from the weight of time and loss to the relentless hope required to dream of freedom. Each piece is a testament to the courage it takes to rebuild, to reimagine, and to create systems rooted in care, accountability, and collective safety.
This exhibition does not offer simple answers. Instead, it opens a space for reflection, contradiction, and imagination. The artists in this show are not calling for chaos — they’re calling for transformation.
Join us as we honor their resilience and creative power.
