WOKE, triggered…

NEXT gallery is bringing the art of the protest into the professional art space. We're following in the footsteps of art movements before us. NEXT is featuring artists that are speaking out, pushing boundaries, resisting the establishment, and changing minds. The art is uncomfortable, humorous, beautiful, shocking, terrifying, thought provoking, and everything in between.
