LIP = Life in Progress  |  AnySquared’s LIP 20/20 Exhibit & ArtsFestival showcases work that expresses definitions and/or critiques of progress that provokes, challenges, or illustrates. Through all media, artists represent, examine, analyze, or dissect what is actual progress, what some consider progress, and what is not. LIP 20/20 seeks to answer and explore this concept with our work, our art, in our communities, and as human beings, both in the city and the world.

AnySquared is an all-volunteer collaborative and artists network. Propelled by a deep sense of cooperation with artists, neighbors and the wider community, our mission is to support, produce and promote collaborative projects that facilitate arts activities through inclusive participation.

#LIP2020  |  This exhibition is part of the larger year-long LIP 20/20 series organized in celebration of AnySquared’s 10th Anniversary. As we reach this milestone, AnySquared is infusing renewed energy and continuing our role as an “arts incubator” going into our next decade with our friends and collaborators. The series will also include a poster series, skills workshops, artist’s exchanges, discussions, public art projects, and additional exhibitions.
