Women Against Hate, United by Love, created by Wisconsin artists Kelly Parks Snider, Rachel Griffin, and Leigh Garcia, is a portrait series showcasing the powerful stories told by Wisconsin women leaders impacted by bigotry, intolerance, and racism. On Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 6:30pm, these women leaders will participate in an important discussion with the artists that will highlight their experiences and priorities as trailblazers in the state. The exhibit is engaging and thought-provoking, and is meant to provide a meaningful and hopeful community experience for all who attend.
