I grew up in Cincinnati, and after seeing an unbelievably great exhibit by Jim Dine at the Cincinnati Museum of Art, I realized I needed to start paying much more attention to the Midwest. In Cincinnati alone, the transformation of the UC campus, the riverfront, and the Zaha Hadid Museum of Contemporary Art very much caught my attention whenever I would go visit/read about my hometown. As a landscape architect, I watched some of the best designers come out of the midwest, and they were inspired by the plants, terrain, and landscape of the midwest (for instance, Dan Kiley, and the fact that Martha Schwartz went to Michigan). I feel like most of the exhibits mentioned in the media are for NYC and LA, SF, and CHI, which is great - it's nice to have a plan for what you want to see when you visit if you are not from there, but there is a lot more out there and I am going to keep looking for it. Please let me know if you hear of anything/go see anything in Hawaii (or anywhere else in the country)! Thanks for writing! Becky Thanks Morgan!

I really appreciate you getting some of this art into the spotlight where it belongs. There is a really phenomenal museum in Detroit(!) that has some very enlightened pieces and exhibits. Keep up the genius! http://www.detroitmona.com/ -Morgan Antoinette I now live in Hawai’i, (but used to live in California and Michigan) and I know that there is soo much amazing talent nestled in the Mid-West!
