I am excited to share that my work will be included in the 31st Biennial at the South Bend Museum of Art. The SBMA Biennial presents a diverse look into contemporary artwork made by artists living in the Midwest. Open to artists residing in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin, this exhibition is an up-to-date dialogue of art happening in the midwest. The pool of exhibiting artists is deliberately limited to allow for the showing of a greater body of work by each artist. From 342 submitting artists, twelve were selected by juror Misa Jeffereis, Assistant Curator at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. The exhibition will be open July 24th through October 3rd 2021 with a recepetion on September 3rd. Find out more about the exhibition and the participating artists at https://southbendart.org/see/biennial-31
