Description
The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘36 x Fixed by Dimension.’
About the exhibit: 36 x Fixed by Dimension
Graphite invites artists to think BIG. Scale can change everything.
Graphite Arts Center seeks works for the upcoming show 36 x Fixed by Dimension which invites artists to see what happens when scale is not a requirement to be solved, but a catalyst for inspired artistic reaction. All submitted works must measure 36 inches in at least one direction. The exhibition 36 x Fixed by Dimension considers what happens when a single dimensional constraint becomes an open framework for inquiry. Artists are encouraged to approach the dimensional constraint with curiosity, and a willingness to let the work evolve beyond initial expectations. Works must measure 36 inches in one direction.
36 x Fixed By Dimension is a juried, group show. Works will be juried on their engagement with the theme, demonstrated technical mastery of the medium and compliance with the instructions outlined in the call. Submissions are open to works in any medium.
