The Show:

The difficulties of living in the mid-west and being a contemporary artist are many, but so are the rewards. This cross-country exhibit is intended to both address these challenges and rejoice in the merits of making art in the heartland. We are traveling cross-country with this show, and will have many stops in cities including New Orleans, Houston, Las Vegas, and San Francisco. The show will only last one full day in each stop, and the exact dates, locations, and times are yet to be determined but the entire show will be between the dates of August 1st and 31st. The show will be on one large transportable gallery wall, surveying the country as an outdoor traveling exhibit. The goal of this show is to engage people from across the country in the art of the Heartland, and to create discourse and art experiences in unexpected places.

The inspiration for this show is our impending move to the west coast. We have lived in, endured, and participated in the art scene of the mid-west for many years and feel that as we travel, we should pay homage to our identity. This is an adventure intended to both make friends and connections for ourselves and for the mid-western artists we will be representing. We hope to impact the scenery and the people we will be encountering, if only temporarily.
