AnySquared’s Residency Exhibit: “Because Art”
at the Hairpin Arts Center, 2810 North Milwaukee

On Display October 10-November 2
Gallery Hours Saturdays & Sundays, 1pm-4pm

Opening Reception Event
Friday, October 10, 6:30pm-10pm

AnySquared’s “Because Art” exhibit presents work that reveals the discourse between the art and the artist. Through installation, painting, drawing, photography, video, sculpture and mixed media, the exhibit explores approaches and techniques of art practice and how it is shaped through the process of self-identification.

The “Because Art” exhibit is a core part of AnySquared’s Residency at the Hairpin Arts Center running through mid-November. The exhibit is also in conjunction with the rollout of AnySquared’s online publication Because Art.

AnySquared’s Residency
AnySquared was invited by Hairpin Arts Center to bring our programming to the Hairpin through a residency. We will be activating the space throughout our six week residency and encouraging artists and community participation with exhibitions, workshops, talks, artmaking studio days, “ART + Community” days, screenings, and more that engage people with art.

As our residency evolves, check the website for added events

AnySquared Projects thanks the Hairpin Arts Center and Gretchen Henninger for offering us
the opportunity to create the residency at their wonderful space.
