Independent Voices celebrates artists whose work speaks boldly from the margins—creators who defy convention and embody the spirit of self-determination that defines the Museum of Friends. Through painting, assemblage, photography, and writing, these artists remind us that independence is a form of connection, linking creative freedom with community vitality.
