ATTEN-TION
My grandma says you should never talk about money, politics or religion in polite company. So all I’m going to say about war is that MRE’s (meals ready to eat) sound really unappealing to me. I hear MREs have come a long way; however, I remain unconvinced that I would appreciate them, despite their convenience. I DO, although, believe art is an excellent way to make your opinion know about money, politics OR religion. This next Call for Entries from Davis Art Services gives you a chance to get everything off your chest if you want.
Check out this Call for Entries for End of an Empire organized by Davis Art Services. The entry fee is a low $25 for up to 5 images on a theme that can be harder to place in a more general show. If you’ve got something to say about war, say it now.
