Southern Illinois has been called a mecca for visual artists.  The serene environment, the reasonable cost of living, the energy generated by the SIU Carbondale School of Art and Design and John a Logan College, and the emerging gallery culture lay a perfect canvas for creativity.

During the winter of 2012/2013 CCA will be working on roster of visual artists from southern Illinois whose work is available through their studios and/or on line.  If you are interested in being included in this list please send contact information, a brief biographical statment, and three images of current or recent work to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
