artruckish 2026 is here!

Same paper. Same poem. Infinite interpretations.

This year, we gave every participating artist one 8.5×11 sheet and a prompt: a poem by Derek Mahon called “Everything is Going to be Alright.” The results are beautiful — and we can’t wait for you to see them.

View the online exhibit now at artruck.org/artruckish-2026/
Original works on view May 2–16 at Union Pizzeria, 1245 Chicago Ave, Evanston

Come see what community looks like on paper.
