Calling All Artists
Call for art entries for WORD UP
Access Gallery is pleased to present our first annual Juried Exhibit – Word Up, calling artists to create and submit artworks that include a written word or language within the art piece.
Throughout time, the world has viewed words/language as a grouping of symbols, characters or letters. This July, the Access Gallery will look at words as an art form through the submissions of artists. The selection of artworks that will be exhibited will be juried on the following criteria: 1. Best approach to theme of exhibit. 2. Best use and representation/expression of the word(s). 3. Aesthetic and creative approach to theme. 4. Best in Show.
Deadline for Submissions: July 6- 7, 2009, 6:00pm MST
