MdW Assembly will bring together artist-led projects from across the region for a four-day alternative (to an) art fair September 9th-11th, 2022 in Chicago. Application, participation, and attendance are free for all. The assembly will take place at MANA Contemporary, in addition to Co-Prosperity and other Chicago venues. With the goal of bringing together multiple hyperlocal scenes from across the Midwest, gathering at MdW Assembly will facilitate opportunities to work together to build pathways for lasting coalitions of purposeful, artist-led action. Rupture is a Chicago BI-POC Maker/Visual Artist database working to create opportunities and representation in the fine art sectors of Chicago — including galleries, showrooms, museums, creative studios, and more.
