I’m Paul Karner, a Chicago-based artist with over two decades of experience planning and implementing long-term creative projects. I’ve built a career around collaborative, immersive performances and exhibitions, guided by a belief in art as a force for connection and resilience. I’ve learned to navigate diverse communities and contexts, always aiming to stave off the darkness with thoughtful, ambitious work. My practice spans live music, curated events, and visual arts—from CHURCH! performances to Tiny Paintings exhibitions and fundraising collaborations. I’m driven by curiosity, patient collaboration, and the joy of bringing ambitious ideas to life in community spaces, venues, and schools.…I’m Paul Karner, a Chicago-based artist with over two decades of experience planning and implementing long-term creative projects.
