"At Midnight" NAtional Show
OCT 31 - NOV 28
|
Theme:
Midnight, the magical moment when one day dies and another is born. Midnight, the electric moment when one year passes into the ages and a New Year begins its march through history. Edgar Allan Poe began his iconic poem, The Raven, with an homage to midnight: “Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary.” How do you experience Midnight? The bewitching hour? The dark sacred night? The landscape drenched in silver moonlight? The shelter of shadows? Any art that entices us to experience midnight from your perspective is eligible. Any art that uses midnight blue, moonlit silver, ghostly gray, or time-honored, inky black is eligible. This show opens on HALLOWEEN...need we say more? Startle us. Eligible Art: All 2-dimensional art welcome (min size: 10", max size: 72"). Any 3-dimensional artwork that fits on a pedestal.
