“Survey Midwest” will focus on the midwestern landscape, as seen by artists living within the following states, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. All mediums are accepted with the exception of photography. How do we relate to the land? What defines our home? The intent of this juried exhibition will be to highlight a wide range of approaches, as well as ideas, that center around the regional landscape and our connection to it.
This exhibition will coincide with a plein air paint out that will occur in early September in downtown Kokomo. The paintings from the event will also be included in the exhibition, as a way to highlight the resurgence of this timeless practice of close observation and expression. In addition, the work produced from the paint out will serve as a counterpoint to the juried artwork.
