2009 Bluebird Art

 

Bluebird’s 2009 Gallery Crawl will feature the art of many Midwestern visual artists of various media.  These are all young, educated, and cutting-edge midwestern conceptual artists.  Their intellectual approach and the conceptual communicative nature of their work allows each of them to comment about their experiences as thinkers, artists, Americans, and Midwesterners.

4:00PM-7:00PM Saturday October 17th
