Degenerate Art Project II – Exhibition

Poster for “Degenerate: Art Project II” reads “Entartete Kunst” with a Jasper Project logo.

The Degenerate Art Project II is the answer to an overwhelming request by artists and patrons of Jasper’s inaugural Degenerate Art Project (July 2025) for an additional exhibition which will involve an open call for visual artists. This three-week-long multidisciplinary arts event (Feb. 11–28 at Stormwater Studios) invites Midlands artists to respond to today’s socio-political climate, and unite our local arts community—physically and in spirit—in support and solidarity during challenging times. Inspired by—and reclaiming—the legacy of the Nazi-labeled “Degenerate Art” of 1937, this project champions creative resistance and free expression through a visual art exhibition, featuring over 40 Midlands artists.
