Sideshow Soo...Celebrating 10 years.

On June 4th Soo Visual Arts Center will be celebrating our 10th birthday with a carnival inspired party, which will run until June 19th. Why Sideshow Soo you may ask? And I decided to cull through our archives of exhibitions to give you an answer.

In our 10 years of operation SooVAC has exemplified the most positive aspect of the sideshow, a place where the unique and unusual can find a voice. Here is a collection of art that we have exhibited over the years that appears to encapsulate those qualities and a sense of the carnival. I couldn't include everything that fit the bill so this is just a small sampling that starts at the beginning in 2001 and concludes with an image of one of the artist created booths that will be on display at Sideshow Soo. The included image is created by Amelia Biewald, other participating artists in Sideshow Soo are: Aaron Dysart, Jaime Carrera, Will Grant, Mary Johnson, Levi Murphy, Mark O’Brien, Chris Pennington, Liseli Polivka, Amy Toscani and Eric Veldey.
