Story—the one thing we share

For Season 5 of the Midwest Artist Academy, we’ll explore the theme “Story.”

Our stories hold immense power to connect, inspire, and transform. And collectively, our individual stories weave together to form the stories of our world. How will your unique artistic skills and experiences help us tell them? How can we craft our stories to empower all of us in our art?

Throughout the week, participants will create work broadly inspired by this theme, all of which will be included in our culminating show on July 19, 2025.
