MdW, an artist-run Assembly that was dormant for 10 years, is returning in 2022 with a renewed mission to convene alternative artist platforms in Chicago.

This time, MdW has been co-designed by an expanded group of seven organizing partners from across the central midwest. And you’re invited to connect with all of us through a series of regional road trips and summer readings, culminating in the Chicago Assembly.

We’re abstaining from the competitive commercial art olympics of the Art Fair by horizontally organizing a free-to-play space for cooperation and mutual aid. Help us build a better salve to the social atomization of our time.
