Group Show exploring how artists view, and experience urban life.

URBANIA looks to provide insight into a range of issues related to the urban environment. We are interested to explore how artists view the change that has occured in metropolitan areas over time, how they see cities and towns functioning today, and how artists would like to see challenges of the future addressed.

We are interested in commentary on economic and social issues, political realities and how U.S. cities and suburbs function in the 21st century.

All media are welcome, including all craft media, as well as video, audio, and photography.
