ABOUT INSTITUTE 193
Institute 193 is dedicated to enriching the cultural landscape of Lexington by exhibiting emerging and mid-career professional artists from the Southern region of the United States. It will serve as a point-of-departure for artists, providing them with professionally installed exhibitions, color catalogs of their work and scholarly essays pertaining to their show. Its goal is to advance the careers of regional artists in the larger markets found in New York, Paris, Los Angeles and London. The Institute will primarily focus its efforts on the production of scholarly materials, show cards, exhibition catalogs, and anything tangible that may benefit the artist. It will also participate in various art fairs across the country in a direct effort to expose Southern artists to the world-at-large. It will ideally serve as a de facto ambassador for the city of Lexington and the Southern region using the prism of contemporary art to communicate its identity.
