As a 26-year neighbor of Andrew Moore, it is my honor to host this extraordinary art installation that embodies the culmination of his artistic journey. "The Promised Land" is a provocative exhibition that unveils the hard truths and intense imagery surrounding racial injustices towards BIPOC communities and the persistent systemic racism that plagues our nation and world.

Andrew Moore, as an artist, understands the transformative power of art to evoke emotions, challenge perceptions, and spark introspection. He firmly believes in the boldness of his art, allowing it to speak for itself and draw people in, inviting them to engage in a profound dialogue with the themes he presents. In "The Promised Land," Moore intentionally creates an immersive experience where viewers are encouraged to spend time with each sculpture, allowing their own interpretations and connections to emerge, and to embrace the discomfort that accompanies conversations about race and systemic oppression. By providing a space where the polltcal, spiritual and emotional art to engage in conversation, Moore empowers individuals to navigate through their discomfort, confront their own biases, and actively engage in the pursuit of a deeper understanding and empathy of the current condition, urging us to ask ourselves. “what has changed, and what can we will to change?” Opening art installation reception, Wednesday 7/5/23 6-9pm runs through 9/9/23. Gallery hours are Sat and Sun 12-4pm and by appointment. Contact Ephraim 612-382-9477
