Each count takes place on a single day between December 14 to January 5 in an established 15-mile diameter circle.

ONE NIGHT EXHIBITION BY ROGUE CITIZEN ARTGANG
6 ARTISTS: BLASTER, DALSEN, GOAT HENKE, MG, LIZARDMAN, UGOTSOUL
All 6 artists have each created 40 one-hour paintings, in line with a 40-hour work week.
All art is name-your-price, minimum $23 – the average hourly wage considered a living wage in the US.
The federal minimum wage has not kept up with inflation and the cost of living since the 1960s. The current rate of $7.25 is a pathetic, untenable number that has not been increased in 15 years.
