Working Artists

There is an inherent catch-22 in the title, Working Artist, all artists are working and thinking all the time. Most emerging artists must have a job that pays to provide for the artistic practice. This show aims to provide a venue for “working” artists to exhibit. The show had no steep entry fee and if a work sells the artist may keep 100% of the profit.

“Work is about a search for daily meaning as well as daily bread, for recognition as well as cash, for astonishment rather than torpor; in short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying.”  ― Studs Terkel, author of Working
