The Urbana Arts Grants Program makes funding available to artists, arts
organizations, and festivals for projects that enrich the lives of Urbana
residents and visitors.

The City of Urbana invites the public to view the latest Artist of the
Corridor exhibition featuring Urbana artist Jason Patterson. The subject
matter in his work is predominately portraiture, with American cultural,
political, social and historical themes. Patterson describes himself as a
"History Painter", although, technically, his work is created with heavily
spray-fixed chalk pastel on raw canvas. He uses this approach in order to
bring traditional or archaic representational qualities into a contemporary
context, reestablishing the object-hood of the piece, through attention to
its unusual physicality. The work that he makes is not solely meant to
represent the image being depicted. It is also meant to represent the
image's original format. As references, he use Google image search results,
YouTube video stills, photographs from the Library of Congress archives,
and newspaper clippings.

*Jason Patterson **is free, open to the public, and will be on display in
the City Building lobby at 400 S. Vine Street in Urbana through May 4,
2014.* Jason Patterson maintains a studio practice in Urbana, IL. For more
