Migration II

In the planning is the Migration II. It'll probably be a group show again with young Chicagoen artists. This time it'll be more theme based around photography. More will come with Summer approaching as to the date, location and participating artists. For now though, that is way too far away and way too cold outside, to think of the outdoors.

The Manifest

The Manifest
YART BIRDS is a commune of artists and friends. They will migrate together into the outdoor environment, in a neighborhood ambient, where friends, neighbors, curious people are invited to come and see and experience a different show, event, a space for art. In a casual way, non important and non official – but in an exciting and fun manner. It wants to gather those who usually don't want to rush to galleries and those who like to rush through galleries... fun talking in yards about art.

Planned are three YART BIRDS MIGRATIONS. In the beginning of Summer, in the middle and then during the end of Summer sometime. A BBQ will be held in the yard of the migrating birds.
The YART BIRDS will be displaying their art.
A fraction of the art that is sold, which the YART BIRDS will agree on, would be put into the MIGRATION piggy bank to finance the next BBQ and panels (at a later point money made, could be contributed to a neighborhood community center or after school programms). The MIGRATION can be held over a couple of days, depending of the weather. This would provide a great flow of migration.

YART BIRDS are (to this day):
Nick Butcher, Kevin Duneman, Mat Daly, Nadine Nakanishi

Shibui

MIGRATION 1 has happened. Lot's of chirping was done. Thank you for coming out, for donating, for coming and talking with us and enjoying Summer with water melon. We had a blast and will be back for more migration action. Special thanks to the YART BIRDS for being so flexible, uncomplicated, motivated and relaxed about it, for helping out anyway that you could.
And to you, if you should be interested in participating, please let us know, so we can have this grow.
