The Solution
Frontline Art Exhibition is a visual art, music, film and activism effort, with the aim of using the arts and robust dialogue to highlight police brutality, gang violence and systemic anti-blackness.
 With the recent deaths of Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and many more, there is an increased urgency in bringing awareness to the issue of police brutality, and anti blackness in America.
 Frontline Art Exhibition curated events are filled with entertainment, class, and artistic expression; engaging people of all ages across a vast majority of professional industries. The main focus is to bring creators and thinkers in one room, to be in dialogue, and start a conversation that will lead to solutions and ideas for change.
