ART-IN-PLACE (AIP) is an
initiative of CNL Projects and Terrain Exhibitions. AIP was inspired by the
generosity of artists and the power of art to transform and connect us. At the
onset of the pandemic, we noticed so many artists began to create and offer to
send small artworks in the mail to anyone that asked. They were using Instagram
as a platform to share this generous offering. Artists shared collaged
postcards, "corona rings”, seeds to grow, plants, and other creative
works. We received about five different artworks in the mail within a couple
weeks. Art became a way to connect, inspire and bring hope during a moment when
we were all so suddenly disconnected from one another. I felt moved and
inspired. We wanted to create a platform to share this generosity and consider
what we all need right now—connection to others outside the virtual. There is
no better tool for this than art. So much has evolved and changed since we
embarked on this project in early May 2020. In a world where so much is turned
on its head and much needed reflection and awareness is taking place, we would
like ART-IN-PLACE to serve as a means to provoke, promote and reflect on our
current climate. In response, we have decided to extend ART-IN-PLACE to August
23rd to give new artists the opportunity to join the project and community
members more time to see the exhibits fully. Visit https://www.cnlprojects.org/artinplace

About ART-IN-PLACE
ART-IN-PLACE (AIP) invites artists
to exhibit an original work of art to be displayed outside their home or from a
window visible to the public. This collective action provides artists and
community members in Chicagoland neighborhoods (and beyond) with a sense of
hope and connectivity through the experience of public art. It offers makers
the opportunity to participate in a collective action to create a sense of
connectivity during an unprecedented moment of extreme isolation from
community. AIP promotes the work of artists to positively contribute to their
careers during a challenging moment. The project will generate financial
contributions to both artists and the artist relief fund artsforillnois.org. We will also develop a
postcard collection to serve as an archive of the project, fundraising effort,
and platform to offer art as a way to connect with others.

How It Works
All artists across the world were
invited to submit to ART-IN-PLACE. Following artwork installation, artists
documented the work in situ and shared images with the project’s organizers via
a google form. Final images will be published on CNL Projects’ and Terrain’s
website and promoted to potential collectors, supporters and enthusiasts.
Collectors have the option to purchase a beautiful set of postcards showcasing
a collection of every ART-IN-PLACE participating artist. Artists can make their
work available for purchase and will handle their own sales. Organizers ask
that with each sale of an artwork, that the artist donate 20% to the Arts for
Illinois Relief Fund which, directly supports local Illinois artists. All
proceeds from postcards sales will also support this fund.
