Valerie Campos, from Mexico City, has been Artist-in-Residence at the Lawrence Arts Center following a residency project under her direction in Beijing. “NaoNow” is a collaboration bringing artists from Mexico together with artists in China. In early 2015 works from the “NaoNow” project were displayed at the Lawrence Arts Center.  Her exhibit “Natural Selection, the Pursuit of Happiness” represents much of the work she has made while in Lawrence, Kansas.
