Features and Interviews

I was featured as the daily artist on "The Daily Art Fixx", on May 8, 2009! This web site features and writes about a different artist everyday. Very cool You can check my feature out at "Semi-Strange Art: Joe MacGown".

A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by a new surreal collaborative group called the Collaborative Corpse. You can read the interview here: "Interview with club member Joe MacGown".

MacGown Exhibition in Eupora, MS is now Over

My one man show
at the Bly Fine Arts Center in Eupora, MS is now officially over. Overall, I thought the reception went well, and we had around 150 people show up!
