One of the fundamental concepts defining the mission of the Art(ists) On the Verge Fellowship is the commitment to emerging artists whose practice often falls outside of and in between the traditional notions of media or disciplines. The Art(ists) On the Verge fellows are no exception. Their work at The Soap Factory engages with a broad spectrum of ideas.

AOV6 Artists: Molly Balcom Raleigh, Meridith Lynn, Ryan Aasen, Claire Barber and Daniel Dean
