Call for Artists – Nature: Water & Waves Exhibit (June 12 – Aug 23)

in , , , , ,

Call for Artists

EXHIBIT
Nature: Water and Waves

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The subject of Water and Waves covers so many possible images. Water is the bases of life. It can be part of a vista anywhere in the world but especially in Minnesota with so many lakes and rivers. Water is found indoors and outdoors. It can be frozen, pristine or dangerous. Life lives within it. Use your imagination.

When one first hears the word, waves you think of water.  Sometimes waves can be damaging because they are so strong or they can be hardly there. Waves can be seen in landscape with the phrase “waves of grain”.  One can also think of clouds such as a cold front wave is coming through. I even think of waves in hair on person or dog’s body.  These are only a few of the images that come to mind when thinking about the word, waves.  We are looking forward to seeing how you interpret the subject of water and waves.

All media is welcome.
