mission statement

“It all boils down to the desire to live forever, this is what Art is all about.”- Damien Hirst.

The idea the art can die or that a city can die, is an abstract thought. We as a group of artists are from the rust belt of the Midwest.  This is a dying portion of the country, which when combined with the idea of our dying city, Dayton, Ohio, brings together the ideas that art is either of no consequence or has no consequence. The idea of immortalizing our work as the work of thousands before us, and immortalizing all that is dying around us, ties us together.  Together we work to create our own version of living forever . . . and that is what Art is all about.
