SURVIVING TRUMP: THE ART OF RESISTANCE

ART AND POLITICS COLLIDE AT THE

WORLD OF WONDER STOREFRONT GALLERY

JANUARY 18, 2017

Los Angeles, Jan 18, 2017: As the world braces for the presidency of Donald Trump, World of Wonder co-founders Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato announce “SURVIVING TRUMP: THE ART OF RESISTANCE” a brand new World of Wonder Storefront Gallery group art show.  The exhibit will feature dozens of artists displaying their wild and twisted visions of the current political climate.

Trump’s road to the White House has been filled with hateful, sexist, racists, anti-LGBT and white extremist messages. On the eve of his inauguration, WOW is thrilled to provide a platform that allows artistic voices to express their resistance to this deeply frightening authoritarian leader.

“When the going gets rough, people turn to the arts and Hollywood for reassurance,” says Barbato, “and this election is no exception.” Bailey added, “At a moment in history we don’t want to normalize the hate and bigotry of the incoming administration…the WOW Storefront Gallery is the perfect showcase for pop culture politics.”
