I Am Postcard Art

May 15 – June 12, 2021

Restrictions placed upon us by the pandemic have forced us to introspect. We’ve reconciled Persona with Self, released material items that no longer serve us and evaluated our place in proximity to those around us both literally and figuratively. Shedding our communal skin, we’ve reemerged with profound clarity, rejoicing in redefined identities while celebrating those of others. Our collective resilience in this global village reassures us. We commence to dream again, forever knowing we possess the power to save each other.

I Am is a large group public art exhibition celebrating personal identity. Curated by artist Debra Wright in collaboration with the Old Town Fairfax Business Association, artists across the United States were invited to submit a postcard-sized work depicting their personal identity for public display in the Fairfax, Virginia, commercial district area.

The I Am public art exhibit can be viewed at the following locations on Main St., in the Old Town Fairfax Historic district:

Eastwind Restaurant

Senberry Bowls
