I SEE YOU
It is not a secret that most kids will only eat vegetables if you masquerade them as something yummy like spaghetti sauce. However, it is commonly true that many adults appreciate a little disguise as well like oysters hidden in the Thanksgiving dressing or gorgonzola hidden amongst other cheeses over macaroni. Personally, I like to stare down my food face to face, but this next Call encourages you to explore the world of masks in any form. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries for Masks from the Torpedo Factory Art Center’s Target Gallery in Alexandria, VA. You know I love a show with a theme, and I have a soft spot for this gallery. Plus, this is one of the very few galleries that still insure your work while it is in their possession. Don’t miss this chance…
