When: Sunday, November 6, 2011

What: Undivided: Dewey Square Pop-up Art Show

By: Inspired by Occupy Boston/Occupy Wall St.

Link: Occupy Boston Art

The purpose of the exhibition is to provide an artistic platform to inspire open dialogue about the economic divide in this country, the democratic process as an organizing tool, and the diverse communities that make up the 99%. It is our hope to create an environment where a diverse community of people can gather and begin to dissect the issues and formulate solutions.

The show will be Sunday, November 6th from 1pm-4pm in Dewey Square, at Occupy Boston. Limitations of the space: This will be an outdoor venue at the Dewey Square Occupation site, artists must provide their own easels or tables to display work, we do not recommend fragile pieces. Please be prepared to stay at the site during the duration of the Pop-up Art Show. Alternative Rain Date TBD if needed.
