Call for Art! Art Pop-up Theme “Soma – The Body”
As part of a new collaboration with the Garage Arts Project, we are thrilled to offer Free Submission for all VAGF members to display their artwork during the Bridges’24 experience at the Frisco Discovery Center the evening of September 21, 2024!
Accepted categories are: painting, drawing, mixed media and photography.
Please note: in order to qualify, artists must be current in their VAGF membership.
Theme is SOMA (Body) explained: The body is a paradox, cells pulsating with oxygen, the body represents the potential of life and inevitability of death. And between life and death, the body is a repository of myriad meaning. It is human, animal, biological, political, spiritual, and so much more. Let your art map out the contours of what the body means to you.
To submit your artwork for display, click the flyer or go to Smarter Entry
