Antioch Secret Society is one of the only Chicago Area bands that allows visual artists to display their work during performances. At every show, the band displays sequenced video art created by local and international video artists and animators. Due to this unique approach to their live shows, it has been noted that the band helps further the outreach of specifically Chicago area visual artists.[2]
