We received so many terrific submissions for this first annual Perspectives Exhibition, and I'm thrilled to announce that we were able to showcase at least one entry from every individual who believed in the project enough to share their work with us. All of us at Shoreline Arts Alliance feel so fortunate to be part of a community that unfailingly continues to support the arts. We say it time and time again, but we truly could not fulfill our mission without your creativity, your generosity and your genuine enthusiasm. Thanks to your many wonderful contributions, it is my hope and belief that Future Voices will prove itself undeniably uplifting in this ongoing time of uncertainty. But I think the show also points to a larger community ethos, one which asserts that what we might call "creative pursuit" could as easily be described as ubiquitous human endeavor, something almost as natural as breathing. At Shoreline Arts Alliance, the arts are for everyone. We take pride in that fact.
