Bouncing Back: Artmaking & Resiliency

Over the last few years, a litany of natural disasters has impacted the Southeast Texas region including Hurricane Harvey in fall 2018, Tropical Storm Imelda in fall 2019, Hurricanes Laura and Delta in fall 2020, and a Texas Winter Storm in February 2021.  In late spring 2020, the COVID-19 Pandemic struck the entire United States.   The Region 5 Art Educator's Exhibition, Bounce Back: Artmaking and Resiliency is a creative response to both community and broader social concerns such as the pandemic, climate change and social justice issues.
