Fragments Reimagined serves as a call to end gun violence in our communities, harnessing the transformative power of art to provoke dialogue, foster healing, and advocate for change. Embracing the model of the "Guns in the Hands of Artists" initiative originated in New Orleans in the mid 1990’s, Art Is My Weapon provides a platform for artists to utilize their talents as a means of social commentary and activism. Centered on the belief that transforming weapons into works of art, artists can confront the harsh realities of gun violence while inspiring hope for a safer, more peaceful future.
Featuring over 35 artists, this exhibition serves as a platform for creativity and a call to action. Through their work and advocacy, artists are empowered to ignite change and build a community committed to ending the devastation of gun violence, making our communities safer for generations to come.
Art is My Weapon MN is a 501 C3 that aims to use art and creativity to spark social change.
