STEP UP, LADIES!
I try my best to feature as many International all-inclusive shows as I can, but sometimes, just sometimes, I post a call for my own selfish reasons. And ladies, this is one of those times. While women certainly do not have the corner on art any more than they have the corner on cooking, we certainly have a unique voice…a unique recipe if you will.
Check out this Call for Entries from the Women’s Caucus for Art for their 2011 National Juried Exhibit. Based on the idea of your own personal “Hidden City,” this exhibit could also help you make a connection to the Women’s Caucus for Art that could serve to give you and your artwork a new perspective that could last for years.
Call for Entries:
2011 National Exhibition
Artists are invited to explore their idea of their Hidden City , real or imagined, in an array of media. The theme may be broadly interpreted from an activist, political or personal context.
No matter our place in society, we all have our Hidden City, a place of refuge from gender, race, class and sexual exclusions, a place that shapes the feminist viewpoint. Some cities, like wrapped boxes, conceal unexpected gifts, others are riddles and lyrical abstractions.
These are performative spaces where we may imagine retribution for injustices, righting wrongs or conversely, delving into the dark side. Convince the viewer of its viability, a live space filled with passion and imagination!
