“CROSS-POLLINATION: New Use of Materials for New Ideas”
Posted by admin on Jan 27, 2012 in Artist Call | 0 commentsExhibit Dates: March 1 – March 31, 2012
Artists’ Reception and Awards: Saturday, March 3rd, 4pm – 6pm
“CROSS-POLLINATION: New Use of Materials for New Ideas” is open to all mixed media. We welcome the utilization of multiple art-making systems and/or multiple media – i.e.: printmaking systems integrated with painting; 3-D sculpture integrated with 2-D graphics. The idea is that one system could influence/inform another creative system. We encourage artists to break out of their standard approach of using only one medium and incorporate additional media and systems.
