| Description | Visit Del Ray Artisans gallery from September 3–25, 2021 to view the Stigma art exhibit. Opening day is Friday, September 3 from 12-9 p.m. The exhibit showcases various representations of stigma.

Webster’s definition of stigma is “a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality or person.” This exhibit brings to light the challenges stigma presents for individuals connecting with society. Through their art, local adult artists and high school students express their perspective on the concept of stigma—how it feels, how it can affect and/or disrupt lives, and how it can be overcome.
Reserve a ticket for a half-hour viewing during the extended hours on opening day. Tickets are not required, but ticket holders have priority entry. The gallery capacity is limited to 15 people at any one time in order to facilitate social distancing. Face masks required for unvaccinated individuals and recommended for everyone.
