Advocacy Through Art - Abby Banker
The BQC Center is hosting artist Abby Banker and their work during September 2025. Join us for a reception during the First Friday Art Walk September 5, 6-8:30 PM. From Abby Banker: I am an artist who aims to experiment with a variety of mediums, ranging from drawing and print making, to ceramics. My pieces are a mixture of realism and representation, and are inspired by nature, mental health, and queer studies. I take inspiration from these things as I closely relate to them, and use my own experiences to generate ideas. My goal as an artist is to use my own emotions and experiences to create pieces of work without any rules or boundaries holding me back.
