That's the reaction that local artists and, gallery personnel are hoping to evoke with their latest exhibition, Blurring Racial Barriers. The exhibit is a collaborative effort of four different art galleries to celebrate the racial and cultural diversities of Winston-Salem. According to Diaiuie Caesar, cura tor at Delta Art Center, the primary rea son for the exhibit is to bring the artist community together by displaying their works in galleries normally not used by a particular artist. In doing so, they hope to evoke conversation, not just between the artists, but the community, as well, allowing everyone the opportunity to come together, regardless of their ethnic backgrounds. a "We (Winston-Salem residents) have a high level of generosity.
