it stays here," the release notes. "According
to Gallup, the talent on display is globally
respected, though often neglected at home,"
the release continues. "The title's ironic," he
says in the release. "I don't want people to
see this exhibit because these artists are from
around here. I want people to see it because
it's world-class art by established artists.
There's an invisible prejudice against home-
town artists. As the saying goes, 'A prophet
is not without honor, except in his own coun-
try.' These artists deserve our honor. I'm just
trying to set the record straight."
