Kelly-McKenna Gallery is pleased to present our spring exhibition “Fly Over”, a group show guest curated by Amy Herritt Merritt, on view tomorrow, April 30 through June 14, 2026.
Moving beyond mythology and “flyover” clichés, the exhibition brings together contemporary artists working across the space between America’s coastal art centers. Rooted in the interior West and Midwest, the works on view present these regions as sites of invention, rigor, and lived complexity.
Featuring works by Du Chau, Robert Jessup, Catherine MacMahon, Jenny Day, Ruth Borum-Loveland, Natani Notah, and Dick Wray, “Fly Over” explores conceptual rigor and the contemporary vitality of regional practice within a global art discourse.
Join us for the opening reception later this month on Thursday, May 21 at 6–7:30 PM
