I am Prepared for Amazing Things to Happen presents a collective portrait of an idealized future, formed from the intersection of vision and action. Visionaries imagine and define utopias alongside activists that take risks and actions to make alternate futures possible. Both serve as catalysts that initiate and facilitate a positive change. Parallel universes, magical realism, optimism, and activism coexist to create a space where one can be immersed in the notion of a societal shift. We are creating a space in which amazing things can and do happen.

Featured artists include: Blaze Christopher (Kansas City, MO), Kelly John Clark (Kansas City, MO), Patricia Bordallo Dibildox + Hannah Carr (Kansas City, MO), Scott Dickson (Jonesboro, AK), Andrew Erdich (Kansas City, MO), Barbara Florez, (Kansas City, MO), Katie Hargrave + Brett Hunter (Chattanooga, TN), Elizabeth Huey (Los Angeles, CA), Julianna Noelle Lynn (Kansas City, MO), Victor Perez (Gainesville, FL), Samantha Persons (Houston,TX), Daniel Reneau (Kansas City, MO), Esther Ruiz (Brooklyn, NY), Edra Soto (Chicago, IL), Sopearb Touch (St Louis, MO), US English (St Louis, MO), Erin Zona (Kansas City, MO), Crys Yin (Brooklyn, NY)
