"A rich retrospective focusing on the intersection of industrial salvage and refined craft within the cultural fabric of the American Midwest art scene."

About

Curated to highlight regional identity, this exhibition showcases artists who repurpose scrap metal, glass, and concrete into sophisticated sculptures. The collection reflects on Chicago’s manufacturing legacy, transforming discarded relics of the steel era into poignant artifacts that speak to labor, history, and the resilience of human creativity in a rapidly changing economy.
