The Stewpot Art Program, established over 20 years ago, is a community outreach program serving the homeless and at-risk populations of Dallas. Baronet is currently a professor in Creative Advertising at Southern Methodist University and holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Texas at Dallas. We Are All Homeless has been exhibited nationally and featured on NPR, Al Jazeera America, the Huffington Post, and Upworthy. Each sign tells the story of a conversation, a person, a struggle, and acknowledges something simple - humanity. Now with more than 1,000 signs, the project is Baronet's attempt to confront an often ignored and uncomfortable issue. The MAC invites patrons to bring an art supply to donate to The Stewpot Art Program, including acrylic paints (please no oil paint), stretched canvas, drawing pads, or brushes.īaronet began collecting signs made by homeless individuals in 1993, and the project developed slowly as a labor of love, before materializing as We Are All Homeless. Guests at the opening reception will have the opportunity to participate in a performance by Baronet and meet the Stewpot artists. This exhibition sheds light on this topic, demonstrating how the arts provide an outlet for those in need and play a vital role in creating a dialogue between people. The MAC, in its new location in the Cedars neighborhood south of downtown Dallas, is near many of the city's community and homeless-outreach organizations, including The Stewpot, The Bridge, Vogel Alcove, and others.

As the first exhibition in the New Urban Landscape series, The MAC will present We Are All Homeless by Dallas artist and SMU professor Willie Baronet in conjunction with a group show by members of The Stewpot Art Program.
