Rural and Urban artists from Kansas, Iowa, and Oklahoma will exhibit work in the second annual Rural | Urban Invitational at The Volland Store Gallery.

“Rural” and “Urban” are defined by the current address of each artist, but the artist’s current address does not necessarily indicate their origins. Once the artists are selected, the discovery begins:  where did they grow up?  what were the influences that led them to become artists?  how are their early experiences revealed in their work today?  or are they?  This is the fun of the exhibition.  Join us in the journey, and learn each artist’s story.

Throughout the exhibit we will look at the lives of these artists, their life’s work today, and the ways in which Rural and Urban are alike, unique, and significant.
