Pillsbury United Communities in collaboration with the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery presents Guns In The Hands of Artists, a community-based social activist artistic project. Decommissioned guns taken off the streets of New Orleans via a gun buyback program have been distributed to over thirty internationally known artists to use as the raw materials in making works of art dealing with the issue of guns in our society. The exhibit will be free and open to the public at Pillsbury House Theatre from May 2 – 28. For more information, please call 612-824-0708.
