The exhibition features a selection of art from the collection of Bill and Christy Gautreaux, who for the last 25 years have embarked on what Bill calls “a journey of learning and awareness that has been life-altering.” Artists who are women, Black or people of color, and those working internationally and/or are part of the diaspora are the primary focus of their collection. While the names of many artists in the collection are widely recognized today, they were often emerging or underrepresented when the Gautreauxes acquired their work. According to Bill, “contemporary art has changed our view of the world and the way that we live.”
