The Journey

International House was established in 1981 to be a symbol of tolerance, understanding, and compassion to the international community. Our organization was opened to be a cultural center that provides people with the opportunities to learn, share, experience, and understand our neighbors, and to make lasting connections and friendships.​

International House and Queen City Art will be partnering together this year. We are excited to present for the sixth year: The Journey.

Thank you to the Arts & Science Council for their support for The Journey this year!

This project focuses on the use of visual arts to illustrate the harrowing, complicated, and hope-filled journeys our immigrant and refugee neighbors take to come to the United States. This year we are highlighting the stories of 40 artists from 21 countries!​
