"Always Something…" SDA, Midwest Exhibition September 2013

Open to all current Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin SDA members.

If these area reps would like to contact me about promotion or questions about the show please email me at jevirgo27@gmail.com

At The Vogt Visual Arts Center, Tinley Park, Illinois 

Exhibit Concept:  The intention of this exhibit is to illustrate reactions when things don't go our way. A journey stalled by a red light, construction that blocks our path; a bridge goes up and halts our progress. One thing leads to another… Perhaps these moments allow for us to notice something unexpected, a mother and child holding hands, a sunlit tree reveals magic, we hear the sweet music of a songbird. Life is motion, each unexpected change allows for an opportunity to see our world anew and alter our perspective.
