A vast array of media and talent by artists such as Dwight MacKintosh, Dan Miller, Aurie Ramirez, William Scott and more, challenge audiences to question their relationship to categories of contemporary art practice, visibility, and attitudes towards “outsiders”. *There will also be an opening reception on September 5th with a preview talk by Tom di Maria, director of the Creative Growth Art Center.
