Fontbonne University Gallery of Fine Arts presents Kyle and Kelly Phelps “Race, Class and the Blue Collar” October 15 – Nov 11, 2021 Opening Reception, October 15, 6-8 pm
The exhibition titled Race, Class, and the Blue Collar, examines the intersection of race relations in America. The sculptural ceramic work mixed with found objects also explores the demise of the blue-collar working class, and how the “American Dream” has faded for many of its’ believers. These wall relief sculptural ceramic altars/shrines pay tribute to those “every day” unspoken heroes who continue to work hard and fight the good fight!
