Black Maria Gallery opens “The Kids are Alright”, an emerging artist showcase series this weekend. “The Kids are Alright” is a five city showcase tour of 25 young artists that have either recently graduated or are still attending art school. The Series was designed to give young artists an opportunity to develop their talents while receiving direction and feedback from a curator and several different galleries.
The Tour is curated by me to create a platform for young artists to gain experience working with galleries in order to properly prepare them for future success as professional artists.
For the show at Black Maria artists were asked to work exclusively in black and white.
