In honor of the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage, Cause & Æffect: Art that Speaks Out features work from 14 different artists who fought, and are still fighting for, different causes ranging from mental health awareness, the environment, AIDS, immigration and more.
The diverse mediums include paintings, tapestry and sculpture and each thought-provoking piece is meant to spark conversation and debate.
