Online Exhibition with Playground Detroit
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The title speaks to the difficulty in choosing the artists amongst many submissions that demonstrated artistic potential and excellence and also references the initiative’s timeliness in light of the Coronavirus pandemic, which has directly impacted artists.
The arts —although widely considered a luxury market—is one of the hard-hit industries when the economy stands on shaky ground. Artists and their work hold the power to simultaneously inspire and heal, making it especially worth celebrating and supporting now.
A portion of all artwork sales from Hard to Choose, Hard to Lose will be donated to Gleaners Food Bank.
