Opening Reception: October 2, 6-9pm  
Exhibition Dates: October 2, 2026 - November 14, 2026  
  
This exhibition brings together a diverse group of national and regional artists, creatives, and documentarians in response to the current political and social landscape surrounding migration and immigration. Projects in the exhibition amplify immigrant voices, document criminalization and detention, examine border politics and architecture, and give impacted people space to share diverse immigration stories.  
  
Sanctuary aims to center the human lives behind political rhetoric, asking how belonging is made and denied, and how care and resilience persist. It will include testimony and creative resistance, while countering simplistic and divisive narratives, and insisting on dignity, with the goal of documenting our current moment and calling for human rights for all.  
  
Additionally, the exhibition will include over 60 artworks from artists who are immigrants, and a community video project documenting nearly 100 of our neighbors telling their immigration story.
