WHEREVER YOU ARE is a weekend-long event at The Martin uniting the Art We There Yet artists Cora Rose and José Luis Vílchez with Megan Pryce in a multi-tiered event celebrating the joys and challenges of finding inspiration.
Thursday September 9th from 6-9pm we open the doors to The Martin to all! The Art We There Yet bus will be open for tours, a gallery exhibit featuring photographs by José Luis Vilchez & paintings by Megan Pryce will be on display, and any visitors and guests are welcome to participate in paneled mural paintings to be donated back to the community!
This event is free to RSVP. Artwork will be available to purchase as well as a bar for any guests that are 21+ with an ID. All guests are required to be masked and anyone purchasing alcohol will be required to provide vaccination proof.
Art We There Yet is a project founded by artist José Luis Vílchez and songwriter Cora Rose. Aboard a school bus converted into a professional recording studio and art studio, the pair is traveling to 23 countries across North, Central, and South America. The journey began in August 2019 and will take five or more years.
The 35-foot retired school bus hosts a sound-proofed recording studio, photography studio, photo and video editing station, multimedia space, and room to host four artists at one time. It is fully equipped as an off-grid living space, complete with solar power, a full kitchen, bathroom, and observation deck.
Megan Pryce is an artist and designer based in Chicago. Her work attempts to capture that forever mystifying feeling—nostalgia.
