The participants in the exhibition at Northside HIV/AIDs nonprofit, Co-Conspirators: Works by and with Raymond Thunder-Sky, Donald Henry, Becky Iker, Dale Jackson, Bill Ross and Kevin White, are all connected by their early involvement with two Northside-based art organizations: Visionaries + Voices and Thunder-Sky, Inc. Ross began to champion the work of artist Raymond Thunder-Sky in 1999, which created a groundswell for other outsider artists, culminating in the opening of a studio dedicated to supporting such talent in 2003 — Visionaries + Voices. Five years later, Thunder-Sky Inc. was founded to archive the detailed drawings left behind by the eponymous artist after his death.
Opening reception: 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 14. Through Sept. 30. Caracole, 4138 Hamilton Ave., Northside, raymondthundersky.org.
