The American Friends Service Committee in downtown Los Angeles hosts “Colors of the Art World,” an exhibition running June 11-Nov. 12, 2009, during regular office hours, M-F, 9 am-5 pm, and 6-8 pm on Art Walk nights. "Colors" appears in the AFSC's Friends Gallery.
"Colors of the Arab" World highlights the artistic interpretations of the region’s rich cultures, diverse peoples and continued struggle for peace amid historic conflicts. In an attempt to personalize and humanize their experiences, these artists have captured everyday life, coalesced among classical and historical imagery.
