Project Description

The Traveling Show

socially engaged art in rural places in the Deep South

The Traveling Show is a long-term project traveling extensively to engage rural South communities and contribute to its local culture, and aspects of life there. The project is a way to create an invitation through welcoming gestures that then encourages people to imagine more good could happen.

glo launched The Traveling Show in 2013 with a SEED grant from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. The Traveling Show: Boykin (2023) is made possible by a Grants for Arts Project Award from the NEA. The Traveling Show Fall – Spring 2024-25 is supported in part by Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly, with support from its partner agency – the National Endowment for the Arts.
