Nick Pjevach, chair of the Madison Arts Commission, expressed his excitement for the exhibition. "It is so exciting to highlight the talents of our creative community with this special exhibition. May this artwork be the perfect way to celebrate the anniversary of this important community space."
Yusuf Bin-Rella is a local chef, farmer and artist whose non-profit TradeRoots Culinary Collective connects people with land, each other and their roots.

He received a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction from UW Madison before teaching art for MMSD and becoming Associate Dean of Madison Technical College. His works on loan for this exhibition are centered on his grandmother who sowed seeds of art and creativity into his DNA.
