ACTIVE DUTY
Armed Artists of America (AAA)
Curated by Artist and U.S. Army Veteran Lee Wells as a rapid call for art.


Active Duty has organized over 30 international artists in less than 21 days
as a direct response to the current socio-political state of America and the
phenomenal events taking place all over the world. These artists are temporarily
banding together under the banner of Studio 84 as a timely autonomous art
movement called: Armed Artists of America (AAA).


Armed Artists of America (AAA) have no formal or ideological agenda;
instead they hope to set in motion imaginative, pro-active and practical
ideas.

Active Duty is looking to open up a dialogue between artists and the community
at large. The ideas and feelings expressed by the artists engaged in Active Duty
form the front lines of the discussion.

Exhibiting Artists :

Michael Ricardo Andreev, Tom Billings, Shepard Fairey, Joy Garnett, Eckart Hahn,
Mark Kostabi, Michael Krynski, Tina La Porta, James McCarron, Donna and Joseph
McElroy, Brian Miller, MTAA, Angel Nevarez, Jon Nicholson, Bob Petrick, postfixE,
MM Robinson, Carlos Roque, Maria Joo Salema, Melissa Schubeck, Secret Rocker,
