Invasion
Invasion is a special exhibition that was organized in conjunction with IA&A’s “Call for Artists” to submit art in response to the war in Ukraine. Unlike Hillyer’s annual call for artists, this special call is a non-juried submission process intended to draw a wide range of responses from artists—both local and national—of support and solidarity for the people of Ukraine. Like many of Hillyer’s most noted exhibitions, Invasion poses a remarkable opportunity to see and hear what artists have to say about war and its impact on society.

International Arts & Artists, its board and staff, in the spirit of its mission to “increase cross-cultural understanding internationally,” condemns the war begun by the Russian government and stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
From Diego Velázquez’s Surrender at Breda to Pablo Picasso’s Guernica, artists through the ages have conjured indelible visions of war and desolation that are at once tragic, humane, enigmatic, and deeply idiosyncratic. It is out of this tradition that Invasion was born.
