The 2024 iteration of the Art From The Heartland Biennial continues to demonstrate the power and breadth of contemporary art-practices throughout the Midwest. The work presented in this juried exhibition highlights artists that are balancing the traditions and history of the Midwest region with a wider, global contemporary practice. In this ever-intensifying, globalized, digital landscape, how does regionality inform contemporary artworks? The artists of the heartland are identified by their place, but through their individual practices, they also construct the very way we begin to define or redefine that place. This year’s exhibition was juried by Kyle Herrington, curator and mixed media artist and includes two works by Mitchell L. H. Douglas.
