Visual Artists Guild aims to create an art exhibit that provides an international perspective on important topics through the lens of local artists, many of whom are immigrants, having experienced a life much different than most people born in the United States. By bringing these distinctive artistic voices to the West Hollywood community, its visitors, tourists and neighbors will enable to dialogue and promote a greater understanding of diverse societies in their struggles to establish and support our democratic principles.
