We’ve revived, adapted and secularized the tent revival concept as a framework for preserving and studying the production of contemporary public culture within the under-examined rural Midwest.Recent events: 5.30.2018WILD AMERICAN DOGS REAL BIG TENT REVIVAL (CHICAGO) One night only!

AMC operates under the auspices of the Social Science Research Center (SSRC) at DePaul University. Our particular interest lies in how the performing and visual arts can help to define and sustain culture and community in towns across the routinely overlooked Midwest. underrepresented Midwestern towns. AMC emphasizes the creative methods and outcomes of nonprofessional, folk, and generally underrepresented artists. Through documenting and facilitating individual and community-based performance, the AMC offers a voice and artistic outlet to rural communities whose cultural significance is too often minimized, dismissed and/or marginalized. The creative processes and artforms that we help to create and document will be preserved and further developed through AMC’s dynamic online digital community platform.AMC OFFICIAL WEBSITERecent Grants and Awards:Provost’s Collaborative Research Fellowship, DePaul UniversityHumanities Center FellowshipUniversity Research Council Collaborative Research Grant, DePaul UniversityUniversity Research Council Grant, DePaul UniversityFaculty Summer Research Stipend, DePaul UniversityDepartment of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, Individual Artists Program, City of ChicagoRecent Publications:BEVERLY FRESH - REALLY SOMETHIN ELSE(University of Chicago Press / DePaul Art Museum) A 270-page experimental “expanded catalog” chronicling the recent work and 2018 solo exhibition of artist Beverly Fresh, the book not only documents and contextualizes the work in the exhibition, but also includes research, sketches, production stills, inspiration and other works not on view in the exhibition.
