Community Art Exhibit

Step into rhythm, color, and creative rebellion with Suede & Blue, a dynamic community art exhibition inspired by the iconic Carl Perkins song, “Blue Suede Shoes.”

In celebration of the song’s 70th anniversary, the show reimagines the rockabilly anthem through the lens of contemporary artists who explore themes of style, self-expression, movement, and the power of standing your ground.
