One gift virtually everyone can wish for others at this time of year is peace and joy. How do you, as an artist, pass on your joy? What does peace mean to you, and how can you convey that sentiment? Is joy a colour, a landscape, a portrait, a symbol, an animal, a song, a story? Is peace stillness, a sound, a simple palette, a grounding, a scent, a practice, a poem, an unshakable belief— how can you impart that?
Q: How can we increase the world’s peace and joy? A: YOU SQUARE IT!
Please submit your 2D works in a square format, any size, on the theme of Peace or Joy. 3D artists may joyfully play with squares in their surface decoration or by literally making works in cubes or some other innovative artistic interpretation of our show themes.
We will accept any size work, but consider submitting pieces of a consistent size so we can display them as mini-sets. For this show, we will allow each artist to submit up to 4 works for consideration to our juror.
