Arts + Literature Laboratory launched the ALL Flat File during the PhotoMidwest Biennial Festival in 2024 in partnership with FlakPhoto Projects. The ALL Flat File Project is a rotating collection of 2-D works by up to twenty Midwest artists. Each year, a cohort of ten artists is invited to add 3-5 works to a flat file drawer for two years. By participating in the ALL Flat File, artists will have their works curated by industry professionals, be featured on site and online year-round, and sell their work.
The ALL Flat File is a unique opportunity for Midwest artists to connect with a broader audience. The public can view the work with staff assistance during ALL’s gallery hours, by appointment, or through an online gallery.
