Every day you interact with countless amounts of people, but have you ever truly seen them for who they are? In our diverse society, it is important to celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of all identities and experiences. This exhibit explores the many facets of teenage identity and the changes that come with adolescence, featuring works by some of the most talented teen artists in the Memphis area.
