Taking over an under-construction building on Prospect Street will be upwards of 35 framed posters created by Indianapolis artists and designers looking to voice their political concerns through the medium they know best — art.
"The Art of Politics" is centered around the United States Constitution's First Amendment and the freedom of speech principle.
Lawson, the owner of Timber Design Company, saw the amazing ways in which his circle of friends and acquaintances were giving back and using their professions to help people during such a trying time. As a creative, he came up with The Art of Politics show as a way to bring the community together for an evening of education on the different perspectives of our neighbors without using words, but rather visual interpretation.
The works submitted in both 2020 and this year's Art of Politics showcase have been considered more liberal, Lawson says, but the showcase also invites and welcomes artists who have more of a conservative view to enter the showcase in the years to come. "This is just a really great opportunity, and an excuse for myself, to sit down and actually create something that means something to me, and taking that time for myself, but also advocating for something that's important," Haydon said.
