ORANGE you…
TEMPTED?
Genetically modified food scares the crap out of me. I understand, economically speaking, why food is modified. But it doesn’t matter how much disease-resistant, mutant corn you can produce if everyone has three heads and glows in the dark. Am I suggest that genetically-modified corn causes these symptoms? No. I am suggesting that none of us know WHAT the end result could be. I’m planting heirloom varieties in my patch in the back yard this year. This Call certainly encourages you to beauty and vulnerability of the endangered and the threatened. Investigate for yourself…
Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Treasured. This show also allows you to be associated with a fundraiser without having to sacrifice your artwork or your portion of the sales price. Don’t miss this great theme either…

From disappearing plant and animal species, to vanishing languages, customs, and cultures, to threatened ecosystems, this exhibit will highlight the intricacies and fragility of precious and vanishing worlds.
The jury seeks artwork that examines these entities, with particular interest in pieces that highlight urgency through delicacy and severity through subtlety, as they honor the distinct beauty inherent to each.
ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.
MEDIA: All media types are welcome; small to large scale; indoors and outdoors.
