Era Living CALL FOR ART
Instructions for Email Submission
Greetings Artists,
I am thrilled announce the
call for “ENVIRONMENTAL ART.” I am seeking art that depicts the natural
environment in broad interpretations from subject matter to natural materials
used in the art. Subject matter can praise the beauty of the
natural world, lament the destruction of it at our hands, or document the power
of natural forces. This theme is
inspired by our partnership with Heaven
and Earth art installations at Carkeek Park. The art for Ida Culver House Broadview will
be interior works with some art in the garden.
Ida Culver House Broadview will host various events including art
receptions, leading art making workshops, and artist talks during this
show. Please follow submission
guidelines carefully and send your submission to me at
curator@junesekiguchi.com
