SPEAK OUT

SPEAK OUT

"Speak Out" is a group show featuring PASC artists at the gallery at Wayne County Community College. This show interprets 'speaking' as a communication that doesn’t necessarily require verbal language. Rather ‘speak’ is used here simply to mean the communicating one's voice, a particular opinion or attitude expressed.
