Institute 193: Volume One

Institute 193: Volume One is a publication featuring the work of 18 artists who have held solo exhibitions at Institute 193 since it was founded in 2009.

Institute 193 produces exhibitions, publications, and other projects that document the cultural landscape of the modern South, with a particular emphasis on the work of artists from Kentucky.
