advances the careers of emerging artists while building the audience
for contemporary art. cWOW’s annual Metro Show is one of the oldest
and most respected juried small works exhibitions in the metro region.
“Metro” originally referred to our tradition of moving the show by
rail to its many host cities. Today, we use all forms of
transportation, while maintaining our original commitment to bring
challenging contemporary art into people’s everyday lives.
