First, I would like to thank Art Hazelwood and David Berona. This is a wonderful way to log the opinions and social practices of artists nationwide. It is also a wonderful celebration of our continuing freedom to express ourselves through the visual arts.
The art in this show is a wide range of talent and mediums, and is a joy to experience, simply because we are able to address these important issues and communicate our fears, thoughts and passions for a better world in a public setting. BRAVO, for a great show. Thanks too to all the artists who contributed!

After experiencing this show, I see many good movements within a small community. All ideas, opinions, creations, and images are built with passion and knowledge. Every artist in this show brings such a unique way of looking at our world today as well as looking ahead to our “future” world. Having specific pieces of work that teaches students’, like myself, more about greater issues going on out of our everyday college lives. To have our own art professors convey their message through their own creations gives a whole new meaning to the term “Politics.” If all this art was created through time, energy, research, opinion, and heart I feel that these worldly issues should be viewed in ease, knowing that us the “society” as a whole can come together and ultimately create our own “working” nation in a collaborative peaceful way. All it takes is numbers, with many numbers, many opinions, passions, truths, and time spent working as a whole our world can change from ground up. Thank you to all our PSU artists’ it was amazing!

I believe the showing of American Politics is further informing the public of political issues, concerns, and ideas. The art work in a way can be more informative than a speach because it could relate to the viewer. It is a different experience looking and analyzing a piece of art compared to listening to someone speak. I hope this show will push students to learn more about the politcal campaign and register to vote.
