A Big Thank You to the Wonderful Panel, and Moderator who were at The Arts as Resistance in the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center!

Jennie Anderson-Meger, Jason Howard, Rick Walters, and Benjamin Gonzales were on the Panel. The Moderator was Sean Martin.

The question covered for that night was about beauty, how it is shown in resistance in art, and how it helps through dark times of need.

Each of the panelists gave their feelings to the question and about how art shapes our interpretations differently, our emotions, and our resistance to issues in the world.
Many of the panelists add in about how art has made them feel specifically such as Benjamin's comment about how Pablo Picasso's "Guernica" (1937, Oil on Canvas) still leaves a lasting impression on him, even after all these years after seeing it.

Thank you once again to the panelists and moderator for the informative and interesting conversation!
