Part of AnySquared’s LIP 20/20 Exhibit & Arts Festival
March 7–28, 2020

LIP = Life in Progress  |  The LIP 20/20 Exhibit & Arts Festival 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.  #LIP2020
