Participating artists include Aaron Johnson, whose 'Oh My Heart' shows two figures blending together. Caris Reid creates a text-based piece that simply says 'vote'. Rico Gatson's 'Shirley #3' depicts Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress.
Reid notes, 'My work is very whimsical and dreamlike. I'm fascinated by the blurring of the physical and metaphysical. I wanted to create a 'vote' painting that conveyed a sense of wonder, possibility, even hope.'
Jeanne Masel stated, 'The When We All Vote collection creates a narrative that we hope evokes various nuances of America.' This collection aims to connect art with increasing voter turnout.
