Metamorphosis: The Art of Transformation
February 13 - March 10, 2025
Submissions Deadline is Sunday, January 19, 2025 at 11:59pm.
Calling all artists for the 2025 Community Art Show, we encourage you to tell stories of change, transformation, and evolution; in other words, metamorphosis. We invite you to reflect on the media you use in your art and how it may be possible to transform them.
We encourage the submission of pieces that employ unique applications and combinations of artistic media to tell stories of transformation. Examples of unique usage of media include: collage, sculpture, textiles, digital art, and much more.
We ask the question: How can the evolution of art mirror the evolution of ourselves and the world?
Submissions are open to all 麻豆最新出品 students & local community members.
Please note that the gallery has limited technology access and will not be able to accommodate works with complex technological needs.Should your work require use of technology, please include a list of tech needs in the additional comments section below.
