People view the world through subjective lenses but one way to open up different perspectives is to view the arts. Boise Art Museum is presenting a new exhibition that hopes to do just that, titled The World Stage.

“The exhibition sets the stage for important and respectful dialogue related to today’s world events. The project has been in development for several years, and the artworks in this exhibition have particular relevance to the current conditions of the world,” wrote Executive Director/CEO of the Boise Art Museum Melanie Fales. “All of the artists in this exhibition are transcending boundaries in some way—either through their subject matter or medium—and are confronting stereotypes and cultural myths as well as giving voice to their lived experiences and perspectives.”

The new exhibition starts on Saturday, March 6 and goes until July 11. The World Stage includes 90 contemporary pieces of art by 37 renowned American Artists. People can expect artists of all colors, ages, and genders. The World Stage has artworks from the last 50 years including some from famous American artists like Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Willie Cole, Helen Frankenthaler, Romare Bearden, Mildred Howard, Jo Feddersen, Jeff Koons, Jacob Lawrence, Hung Liu, Wendy Red Star, Robert Rauschenberg, and Kehinde Wiley.
