"This exhibition represents work by the ten artists (eleven in reality, but two of them work collaboratively under a single name) who formed a collective in 2007 at the Gallery of the Good Children. The Gallery is named after the street where it is located, known formerly as the Avenue des Bons Enfants.

They do not share a particular aesthetic or a particular understanding of what the visual arts must be. They have no manifesto with which to police one another's boundaries. Their members include emerging artists just beginning their careers alongside their former teachers and mentors. They are brought together by a need to find ways to represent thoughtful visual practices of all kinds; to give voice to serious issues, understood as, by and through the visual arts." -Dr. Simeon Hunter
