Tim Kerr
Your Name Here

Pioneer musician and artist Tim Kerr’s exhibition, Your Name Here, features vibrant and colorful portraits of prominent figures with connections ranging from music to civil rights movements. He is influenced by his own musical career and the iconic voices of artists coming from the punk and DIY scene, to the blues, free jazz, and Irish folk music. His works are often inscribed with quotes from his subjects, sharing their messages as an entry point to values and ideas they share. Self-expression is central to Kerr’s work and the importance of uplifting ideas and voices through art. His works are signed “your name here” in an effort to instigate viewers to adopt his DIY spirit and make something.
