Jeremy Dennis is included in America, Unfinished?! at the WaterFire Arts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. Presented in partnership with Tomaquag Museum, the exhibition brings together contemporary artists from across the country to consider the complexities, contradictions, and possibilities of the American experience.

The exhibition explores identity, democracy, belonging, memory, justice, and civic life through installations, large-scale artworks, and other contemporary practices. Installed in the WaterFire Arts Center’s 15,000-square-foot Main Hall, America, Unfinished?! invites visitors to reflect on the stories that shape the United States and the unfinished work of its evolving future.

Additional Thursday programming takes place throughout the run of the exhibition, including artist talks, workshops, performances, Valley Vibes rooftop gatherings, and Gallery Night Providence events. The exhibition is presented in conversation with Ascending: The Liberation of Native Art in the WaterFire Arts Center gallery.
