MdW, an artist-run art fair that returned in 2022 with a renewed mission to convene alternative artist platforms in Chicago from across the Midwest.
The Propelled Animals and over 100 artist-led projects convened to present their projects at Mana Contemporary Chicago to support each other across hyperlocal scenes and build pathways for lasting coalitions of purposeful, artist-led action. Two giant floors of the building were filled with pavilions from six central midwestern states. This included art booths, publisher tables, and installations interspersed with open programming platforms like a print lab, screening space, presentation space and more.
MdW is FREE, all ages, and open to the public.
