As inherently transient beings, we collect connections to the places we inhabit throughout our lives. But are we ever really in a single place? And how do we mark a place when things are in constant flux? We asked thirteen contemporary artists from Springfield, Kansas City, and St Louis to offer works of art that respond to their current state – geographical, physical, virtual, and/or spiritual.

The artists in this exhibition all have a unique tether to this land that we call Missouri. Geography binds us together; where we are informs who we are and what we make.

Current State is open July 1 – August 2. Carolla Arts Exhibition Center Summer hours are:

Monday: By appointment
Tuesday–Friday: 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
Saturday–Sunday: Closed
