“The Genesis Project” is an ambitious, year-long collaborative wall exhibition, featuring a group of 10 artists who have been selected by many of the visual art stakeholders in the Gateway Arts District, including Portico Gallery, Washington Glass School, Otis Street Art Project/Behind the tracks Studios, and the Gateway Arts Center. During each “Volume,” the selected artists will come together to create an immersive wall piece. Each “Volume” will allow artists to use previous work as inspiration to work over or alongside the original piece. The end result will be an all-encompassing mural that defines the creative brilliance that lives and breathes in the Gateway Arts District. The year-long project runs from September 11, 2023 - August 18, 2024.
