ARC Gallery is an internationally recognized exhibition space that has been an integral part of the Chicago art scene since its inception in 1973. Founded during the women’s movement as an alternative to the mainstream gallery system, ARC is one of the longest running art spaces of its kind in the country. As a non-profit, woman artist-run cooperative, ARC continues its feminist tradition by providing exhibition opportunities for professional and emerging artists working in all media based on excellence of artwork, without discrimination toward ethnicity, race, gender, age, class, religious, sexual or political orientation.

This innovative showcase blends installation and mixed media art, inviting viewers to explore connections between prehistoric and modern modes of creation.
Drawing terminology from theoretical math, Bailey connects the language of math to spirit and intuition, exploring the framework of our shared reality and evolution.
The exhibition will feature a series of immersive installations that play with form and texture, utilizing materials from natural objects to digital elements. Each piece is designed to provoke thought and reflection, inviting viewers to consider their connections to evolution, consciousness, and creation.
