Twenty-six artists from across the USA offer small works for your viewing and collecting pleasure. As a whole, the exhibition is a small tasting of the International Collage Community. The exhibition was juried by Christy Wood, the director of LeMieux Galleries, and Kolaj Magazine Editor Ric Kasini Kadour and is an official exhibition of Kolaj Fest New Orleans, an annual, multi-day festival & symposium about contemporary collage and its role in art, culture, and society, 25-29 June 2025.
