About This Exhibition
Strathmore welcomes artists to submit original artwork for “ Strathmore's 33rd Annual Juried Exhibition: Full Circle ”.. Circles are universal symbols of perpetual motion, balance, and renewal. Nature provides tree rings and seasonal cycles. Music and plays are performed in the round, innovation is marked by the invention of the wheel, and the Earth orbits the sun. This call invites artists to create work depicting subjects with a circular form; or exploring symbolism, metaphor, or traditions expanding the basic circle. From apples to eggs, drum rolls to figure eights, we challenge artists to close the loop, spiral out of control, and share their sphere of influence in this year?s call for art.
Artwork may be of any style and medium and may invite the viewer to actually touch the artwork.
Artists from within the DMV region and beyond are encouraged to apply.
Jurors
Glen Kessler and Darryl Patterson
Submissions will be evaluated on technical mastery, connection to theme, and original & aesthetic approach. Each artwork will be considered individually. There is no limit to how many works from one artist's entry may be accepted.
