Join host Dawn Burns on The Sauce as she sits down with artist Craig Kilgore, whose work transforms everyday landscapes into meditations on memory, myth, and the human mark on the land. Raised in the post-industrial Midwest, Craig developed an eye for the quiet beauty—and underlying tension—hidden in overlooked places. This spring, he takes that perspective on the road with a series of pop-up exhibitions along Route 66, culminating in a major installation at the Apache Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico.

The project is part of the lead-up to the Route 66 Centennial in 2026—reimagining an iconic American corridor through a deeply personal lens.
