Please contact galleryoneten@gmail.com with any other questions you might have about submitting work for the upcoming transportation show.

Note: Interested artists can choose to participate in an optional post show exhibition put on in collaboration with The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change. These art pieces will take to the street and travel around town via various means of visible transportation, or be hung in designated spots in the city-- a travelling exhibition of sorts, a legal dispersion of guerilla art. Participation in this post-show collaboration is completely optional. For more information on this aspect of the show contact leland@freecreatives.org

Post-show traveling exhibition/urban art project: After the gallery show closes, interested participants and artists can choose to have their work included in an optional second exhibition

This show takes place in an art gallery, but will have elements that reach out into the community in many ways. We invite artists, writers, as well as people of all ages and all walks of life, to contribute to an inclusive, creative effort encouraging thought and dialogue about transportation issues.

Transportation brainstorm

Riding, rolling, flying, biking, bussing, walking, zipping along or stuck in traffic-

transportation affects nearly every aspect of our lives-
work, education, recreation,

Have you ever thought about how transportation affects
the food you eat? (how did it get to you, where has it traveled from?)
the air you breathe?
the layout of our communities?


What role does transportation play in your friendships, and in your family?

From vacations and fun road trips to just getting to school, work and the grocery store, transportation is an important part of our lives. Transportation options include all kinds of paradoxes; the same vehicles that help us get places fast can get us stuck in bumper-to-bumper slowdowns for hours. With more cars on the road, we have more traffic jams; building new roads to make room for more cars may mean taking over land that was used for homes, schools, businesses or farms. The same roads that are part of urban sprawl also get us to beautiful places we want to go. The same vehicles that make it easier to get around can also tragically cut life short in a second. Fuels used for helpful transportation can cause a lot of hurtful air pollution.

Many people commute for many miles in a week without getting a chance to exercise, others are able to use exercise as a form of transportation.

Some people have very limited access to transportation, due to financial constraints or physical limitations, and may have a hard time getting around.

Do you face any challenges or struggles with transportation issues?

If you could do three things to improve transportation in your community, what would you do?

What would your ideal public transportation system be like?

Imagining solutions to transportation problems-

Anything from very practical problem solving to imaginative inventions or fantastical wishes-

(For hundreds of years people dreamt of inventing flying machines— most people thought it was a crazy idea…..)

Can you imagine new or different ways that (bikes, boats, zip lines, trampolines, conveyor belts, slides, trains, sails, roller skates, sleds, skis , skateboards, hot air balloons, underground tunnels, personal propellers, …..Etc.) could be used to solve transportation problems?

What would be your ideal way of getting from place to place?
