Call for Artists

EXHIBIT
Culture & Community

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Culture is the water in which we swim as we negotiate through life. We deal with generations, race, gender, religion, sexuality and all other inequalities. Bringing light to the centrality of culture also opens up new avenues of influence and inclusion within our communities. As an artist, how do you express yourself and tread this water?

Passage of Time

Call for Artists for the Passage of Time Exhibit (January 11 to March 15, 2019)

in , ,

We invite you to submit your art for The Passage of Time Art Exhibit scheduled to open to the public on the 11th of January, 2019. Please mark your calendars for the Artists’ Reception Open House on January 17, 2019.

Life is just a passage of time and it is up to you to pass it as you please. Our sense of time in the past, present and future is a common denominator that each generation shares because time refuses to stand still for any human being. Time possesses the element to forget and to remember; people, places and things in our existence. Only the passage of time separates each generation to their own period in time. We ask you to bring your own meaning to this Exhibit to showcase the Passage of Time as you see its relevance to your life.
