We Need A Hero!

We Need A Hero!

Project Onward proudly presents We Need a Hero, a bold and action-packed exhibition celebrating the spirit of the superhero through the lens of outsider art.

Featuring original work by a dozen of our extraordinary artists, this electrifying show reimagines strength, identity, and imagination through comic-inspired characters, super-powered symbolism, and fearless creativity.

From cosmic crusaders to everyday champions, We Need a Hero explores what it means to rise above—on the page, in the world, and within ourselves.

As a special feature, artist Sereno Wilson brings his signature flair to live superhero portraits, transforming visitors into the heroes of their own stories. No radioactive spider bite required.
