In conjunction with Chicago Artists Month 2011, Locus Terra will be shown from October 7th through November 2nd 2011. The theme of this exhibition centers around the idea of community, place, and networking, aligning with the over all theme title, 'Artful Networks'. Below is a description of Chicago Artists' Month this year:

The 2011 theme, Artful Networks, explores the communities that nurture and inspire Chicago artists and their work. The people with whom artists choose to work can be supportive in encouraging creative growth, experimentation, dialogue among peers, and community building. Ranging from traditional residency programs to collaboratives to informal relationships, our communities impact the way we create, support, and appreciate art. (below: work by Karen E. Murphy)

In addition to the month-long exhibition, Terra Incognito will be hosting a potluck and panel discussion/presentation at 6pm on opening night of Locus Terra. Artists Mary Dye, John Spiteri, Nancy Gardner, Chris Plummer, and Seana Higgins will speak of their experience working in a variety of studio environments and how it has informed and/or changed their work through the years.
