Visit the Virtual Tour

One of the most powerful ways you can take an active role in politics is by voting. Your votes reveal your values - what you consider to be most important in your life and in the lives of people in your community. This exhibition is organized around ongoing national conversations that explore connections between the values we maintain and how those values influence our voting. The ideas that resonate in this exhibition are meant to empower visitors to make their voices heard in the democratic process.

Co-curated by:
Erik Herron, PhD, Professor of Political Science and 2023 Art Museum Faculty Fellow
Robert Bridges, MFA, Curator, Art Museum of WV
Heather Harris, PhD, Curator of Education, Art Museum of WVU

This exhibition is funded by a generous gift from Gloria Plevin.
