Arts + Literature Laboratory is partnering with FlakPhoto Projects to launch the ALL Flat File during the PhotoMidwest Biennial Festival in 2024.
The ALL Flat File Project is a rotating collection of 2-D works by up to 20 Midwest artists. Each year, a cohort of 10 artists will be 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 for two years, and potentially sell their pieces.
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.
FlakPhoto director Andy Adams has curated the first Flat File cohort of 10 Midwest photographers. One work from each artist will be exhibited in ALL’s Project Space concurrent with the PhotoMidwest 2024 Biennial Juried Exhibition and other festival programming, from Tuesday, September 19 through Saturday, November 9, 2024.
