7 DAY EXHIBITION
On view August 21-28, 2025
Good Morning/Mourning America is a multimedia exhibition born from the tension, heartbreak, and hope of our current cultural and political moment. Using only the exhibition’s title as a prompt, Texas-based artists will contribute works of visual art, music, and writing that reflect our fractured realities and shared humanity. Through powerful expression, a curated collection, panel discussion, and digital catalog, this project aims to stir reflection, spark dialogue, and remind us that even in division, connection is possible.
Multi-Media Exhibition at Gallery 440 (440 S. Main St., Fort Worth, TX 76104) August 22-28 with Closing Reception at The Modern (auditorium) on August 28, 2025. Live performances will be scheduled throughout three events during this exhibition's duration.
Entry submission is now closed.
