Prior to salvage and/or relocation, a group of neighboring homes, in North Capitol Hill, will be used by artists to create site specific installations for this year's project. Artists are free to use both the interior and exterior spaces of the homes as their creative canvases to produce dynamic art installations. MadArt believes these homes will provide a novel and noteworthy venue for the public to view art. Artists will be provided a unique opportunity to work in a temporary space, without conventional gallery show constraints. The selected artists’ works will include energetic and innovative paintings and sculptures. MadArt’s goal on this art project is to provide unexpected enjoyment and a distinctive educational experience for the neighborhood and visitors, while providing local artists a valuable and rare opportunity to create artwork. 

 

This year's artists include: Troy Gua, Julia Haack, Meg Hartwig, Luke Haynes, Amanda Manitach, Ryan Molenkamp, Allan Packer, Jason Puccinelli in collaboration with Elizabeth Potter, Sutton Beres Culler, Laura Ward, & Allyce Wood. More information about these artists will follow soon.

 

The site for the Mad Homes art project is a Point32 development project that will include preservation of the BelRoy Apartments and the construction of new housing designed by Weinstein A/U.  For more information, please see www.point32.com
