Stilled Life

Artists' Reception: July 30, 1 - 4 p.m.
Guest Curator: Daria Brit Shapiro

Exhibition Information
Daria Brit Shapiro, an art historian, gallerist and independent curator, will curate Stilled Life from an open call. She is particularly interested in unusual interpretations of the traditional still life theme, and in work that reflects the nuances and contradictions of the exhibition title.

Artists are invited to submit one work for consideration. The curator welcomes both traditional and innovative approaches to this subject.

Two and three dimensional work in all media will be considered. There are no size or weight limitations. If work exceeds six feet in any direction or weighs more than 50 pounds, artists should contact the Museum to confirm whether or not it can be accommodated in the galleries.

In rare instances when work is too large to be easily transported to the Museum for consideration, a slide may be submitted. Slides must be submitted by June 1, 2006.

There is NO FEE to submit work.
Artists may submit only ONE work.


Selected work will be on view from June 21 through September 10, 2006. An artists' reception is scheduled for Sunday, July 30 from 1 - 4 p.m.

Announcement cards (20) will be available to all artists whose work is selected for the exhibition.
Participation is limited to artists 18 years of age or older.
