Touched

Beth Grossman is a socio-political artist, who sees the visual as a way to create community dialog. Her art and participatory performances are comfortable points of entry into the ongoing dialog about 'correct' history, the life-shaping force of religion and the power of social beliefs. Grossman has collaborated internationally with individuals, communities, city halls, corporations, non-profits and museums in the US, Russia, China, Italy and Germany. She uses art as a creative force to stimulate conversation and focus attention on the environment, history and civic engagement - all aimed at raising awareness, building community and encouraging public participation.
