This show was curated by local artist Emily Kalwaitis, who chose this group not only because she truly enjoys their art, but also for the participants’ dedication and commitment to working and living as artists.

Each makes his or her livelihood around art…teaching, exhibiting, making. They were also selected for their honed abilities to walk outside traditional lines and follow their own muses. This show promises to be full of creativity, fresh-ness, humor and beauty. The work will move and provoke the viewer, encouraging new visions and thoughts never before imagined…the true function of art.

Included in the show are, Laurie Fisher, John Jorgenson, Ricky Sears, Stephanie Somers and Faith Wilson. Laurie is based out of Chicago, and
