Official press relase below: 

In collaboration with CAC's Hatch Projects, Twelve Galleries Project presents Quarterly Site #9: Support curated by female design collective Quite Strong. The exhibition showcases two communities of visual creatives-HATCH Projects artists and Quite Strong Lust List designers.   Featuring:   Installations by HATCH Projects Artists - Marissa Lee Benedict/ Amanda Greive / Renee Prisble / Brittany Ransom / David Wittig / Jim Zimpel    Art and design works by Quite Strong Lust List Designers -   Alanna MacGowan / Cave Party Collective / Firebelly Design / Elaine Fong / José Scaglione / Julia Stotz / Katherine Verhoeven / Linsey Burritt / Margot Harrington / Monina Velarde / Nancy A. Bernardo / Nancy McCabe / Nicole Lavelle / Renata Graw / Tinne Van Loon / Tonya Douraghy / Veronica Corzo-Duchardt / Veronika Burian / Zara Picken   Together, HATCH Projects, an initiative of CAC focusing on contemporary art and professional artist development, Quite Strong, a collective fostering the overlap of art and design cultures, and Twelve Galleries Project, a roving curatorial experiment exploring collaborative exhibition models, can reap benefits for the Chicago creative experience. Each respective group challenges its members to step outside their immediate communities to seek vast and varied perspectives and experiences. The result: the facilitation and implementation of a support system beyond what is merely essential and into territory that is rich and rewarding. In essence, Quarterly Site #9: Support connects the "support" theme central to the missions of Hatch Projects, Quite Strong and Twelve Galleries Project and to the success of artists of all kinds.   For more information please visit: HATCH Projects http://support.quitestrong.com/ http://www.twelvegalleriesproject.org/quarterly-site-9
