Presented by Avenue 50 Studio, "by and for: democracy and art," is a visual conversation of the role of art in a democracy. Thirty were selected by curator, activist and art historian Carol A. Wells, the founder and executive director of the Center for Study of Political Graphics.

In the work exhibited, the artists address shifting meanings of freedom and equality, censorship and civil liberties. Using art as a vehicle for the discussion of political issues has a rich history which, at times, has been shrouded in censorship.

Diana Wong has a long career as a painter, mixed media artist, curator, and educator. Beginning in the 1990's, Diana's work began to reflect her interests in Eastern philosophies, such as the I-Ching, culminating in a unique East-West aesthetic whose subject is the universal human experience. She believes: "art creation is a process of infinite possibilities. It also can be mystical when the creation becomes something bigger than the artist herself."
