"Freedom of Expression in the Arts"
A progressive project to examine the core principle of all creative work: freedom of expression.
​

James Beoddy wrote to the Task Force of Lesley Constable's courage:
"She spoke [at the Task Force hearing in Columbus] of feeling alone against the forces of repression and thought control. I have known both of these feelings throughout my career. I also know that without courageous and dedicated curators like Lesley, I'd never get to exhibit my work at all."
