I’ve had many inquires about purchasing prints from the photos in my Steel Rails exhibit that is going on now at the Anne P. Baker Gallery here in Madisonville, Ky, by those who live to far to purchase one at the gallery itself. Therefore I’ve created a gallery of the images in my Online Sales area where folks may purchase prints online.

According to the Floating Museum Website: The Floating Museum partnered with the Chicago Transit Authority and Chicago Park District to transform the Green Line into a moving cultural destination, activating several parks along the south and west ends of the line between July 2019 – September 2019.
Cultural Transit Assembly serves both to celebrate the cultural work being done in these neighborhoods as well as to strengthen the ties between these spaces. This project is also an opportunity for Floating Museum to continue to foster collaborations between local, municipal, and community based organizations with larger city institutions.
Floating Museum developed site-specific exhibitions that highlighted local histories with complimentary public programs including live musical performances, panel discussions, neighborhood walking tours, film screenings, and more.
Cultural Transit Assembly happened up and down the CTA Green Line and included Founders which is a mobile monument and collaboration between Floating Museum, Chris Pappan and Monica Rickert-Bolter.
