ABOUT

​T W I R L: A Decade of Artist Interviews came about in the interest of developing an archive of artist stories comprised of interviews and visual imagery. This project is for those both curious to see how this select group of artists will persist in making art despite life’s unforeseeable challenges and eager to watch their artwork continue to progress over time. The digital platform will host annually updated artwork and interviews from working artists over the period of a decade. We are intrigued to see where chronicling these artists’ practices in this way may lead.

​Submissions for this project are currently closed.
