Inland Visual Studies center at Bradley welcomes Midwest art symposium
Artists and scholars from key academic institutions in the Midwest will
convene in Peoria April 15, 16 and 17 for the first public event
sponsored by the new Inland Visual Studies Center located at Bradley

The three-day symposium will explore the Midwest's contributions in art
and scholarship that often are overpowered by dominant "coastal" voices
in the American dialogue.
Like the Inland Visual Studies Center, the symposium is designed to
analyze the Midwest's contributions to national and global art, a
contribution not fully recognized or understood.
