In the East Gallery, Artist Shoeboxes act as mini-solo shows. This year, they feature four artists: Matthew Burgos, Ashley MacLure, Nina Medard, and Susan Swinand. An homage to trees, mixed media assemblages unpacking the effects of gun violence, intricate cartoon-like graphite drawings exploring individuality and perception, and humorous mixed media works about the self and humanity.
