Open call to artists for the
" The Politics
of Green exhibit
"
August 7th - September 13th
Open/Juried exhibit
Challenges artists to address environmental issues
All things green (politically, ecologically, financially, holistically…)
have come to a head, a crossroads, a climax of differing viewpoints
and interests. As artists and citizens, it is our decision to confront
and
question the issues that affect our lives and society, especially in
an
ever more globalized world culture. The politics of green challenges
us to address any of these issues in any medium, including video,
installation and performance.
If you are thinking of an installation please contact a.s.a.p.
