Unity. Peace. Forward. These are three simple, but powerful words. Together, they make up the mission statement for a new free outdoor art exhibit at the Kennedy Centerâs REACH Campus in Washington, D.C. on display now through Feb. 28.Â
The exhibit brings together work from 65 artists from 22 countries. Local artist Malcolm Corley is one of the artists featured in the exhibit. Corley is a 21-year old artist living with a developmental disorder on the autism spectrum and is mostly non-verbal.
Corleyâs piece âUntitled #1â was selected to be a part of the exhibition. Elements of Corleyâs piece are used to make the letter âTâ in the word âUnity.â The visual representation of the word âUnityâ is powerful because each letter stands as its own unique work of art, but together, each letter/artwork combines to create a colorful and cohesive flow and strong message. Itâs a powerful reminder of humanity s need to come together for
