Free Parking in the Cherry St. garage, all levels

Exhibition dates:

Arterial Echoes features seven UMKC Studio Art Faculty members each shown alongside an artist who mentored them and an artist to whom they have mentored. The mentor/mentee relationship reverberates throughout the space, highlighting the threads that are strengthened between these bonds. One can consider the ways in which these contemporary artists’ practices overlap with one another, yet how their generational differences become evident.
