An exhibition exploring powerful themes of imprisonment as a metaphor for illness and other issues of struggle and injustice in political, social, environmental and personal arenas.
"The theme was inspired by seeing the 'Get Out of Jail Free' card crop up repeatedly in diverse works of art," said Julie Blankenship. "In the Monopoly game we played as kids, a lucky roll of the dice assigned this card, which functioned as a pass, used to extricate the player from dire circumstances. The title references how--in our darkest hour--we might envision a threshold we can step through to a parallel universe without illness or homophobia, racist wars or environmental degradation."
Visual Aid helps produce, present, and preserve the work of professional artists whose careers are challenged because of a life-threatening illness. Visual Aid serves professional artists from the nine-county Bay Area, providing artists with direct services from art supplies to exhibitions and career development
