Art+Culture Projects is delighted to announce the launch of nine new artist commissions and its recent participation in EXPO CHICAGO 2015.

Founded by Christopher E. Vroom and Helen Andrews, Art+Culture Projects is a publisher of curator-led limited editions, multiples and photography with select artworks supporting cultural institutions.

Available at leading art fairs around the country as well as online, we work with curators, artists, cultural institutions and select galleries to produce works of exceptional quality exclusively within a curatorial context. Our mission is to broaden awareness of the artists who are shaping our cultural legacy while creating a sustainable source of income for both those artists and the programs - whether non-profit or commercial - that are showcasing innovative artistic practice.

Art+Culture Projects collaborated with Dominic Molon, the Richard Brown Baker Curator of Contemporary Art at RISD Museum, to explore the subject of humor in contemporary art, producing artwork with a diverse group of artists including: Stephanie Brooks, Alejandro Diaz, Casey Jane Ellison, Liam Gillick, Nina Katchadourian, Scott King, Harland Miller, Scott Reeder and Tony Tasset. An essay by Molon on the subject of humor and the works presented titled Anything For a Laugh: Humor in Contemporary Art, can be found here. Proceeds from the sale of select works benefit RISD Museum's curatorial programming and Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue. On Art+Culture Projects, Molon stated: "Art+Culture Projects has developed a dynamically innovative and urgently necessary model that enables artists to realize new editions and multiples and helps to sustain the contemporary programs of curators and their respective institutions. This particular project combines artists and themes from my curatorial past with the development of support for the future exhibitions and initiatives I will pursue at the RISD Museum."

Anything For a Laugh: Humor in Contemporary Artis an ongoing series that will be augmented by funny, new commissions over the next 12 months. Art+Culture Projects expects to produce 4-6 new exhibitions through the end of 2016 exploring a range of critical ideas that reflect upon the issues of our time.
