  • “Art in the Heartland: Lucas, Kansas and the Grassroots Art Movement” “Art Is ...” The 29th Annual National Conference on Liberal Arts and the Education of Artists. 2015 In spite of its relative isolation, this small town located in central Kansas has become the epicenter of the Grassroots art movement in the Midwest and in doing so, challenged and broadened our ideas of what art is, what it can be. This is a co-presentation with Reed Anderson.
