Within the next few weeks the Midwest issue of New American Paintings, #101, will be received by subscribers and newsstands across the country. Publisher/Editor, Steven Zevitas, remarks in his Editor's note, "I have a feeling that this issue of New American Paintings might be a bit provocative to a portion of our readership on account of the ways it pushes the idea of what constitutes a 'painting.'" Juror, Lisa D. Freiman, Senior Curator and Chair of the Department of Contemporary Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN, mentions in her essay that, "Most of the works by Midwest artists chosen...challenge traditional definitions of painting or sculpture and instead explore a hybrid state that incorporates aspects of both..."

*New American Paintings would like to apologize for a printed error in issue #101 which stated that Garry Noland had a solo exhibition at the Nelson-Atkins Museum in 2010. This was an internal error and should not have been listed on his resume. Further, we would like to point out that Mr. Noland received a BA from the University of Missouri, not a BFA.
