Waiting for Beds is a traveling experimental duo-exhibit featuring a series of paintings, mixed media work and digital illustrations by Moira (Miri) Villiard and Carla Hamilton. The exhibit is set to open with a reception and artist talk on Friday, February 17 at the PRØVE Gallery, located at 21 N Lake Avenue in Duluth, MN from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM. The exhibit will also feature a small selection of artwork and object submissions from local community members who have a connection to the topic of the show.

The exhibit will be on display from February 17 until April 14, 2023 and can be viewed during gallery hours, Wednesday - Friday ( 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) and Saturdays (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM).

The featured artists have drawn upon regional research, personal experience, and community input to create a body of artwork that explores what happens to people in crisis during their "wait" for a bed. This exhibit seeks to challenge the normalcy of the phrase in social services and healthcare, and uplift the voices of those impacted by the "wait". The exhibit will navigate themes and data connected to mental health, addiction, hospitalization, incarceration, homelessness, domestic violence, and other areas of crisis in which "waiting for a bed" is common.
