Prospectus

”Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?”
–Frida Kahlo

We consider the beauty, history, natural history and culture of FLIGHT. Included might be: creatures, vehicles, dreams, angels, flying carpets, broomsticks, ideas soaring poetically through heavens, waters and artful imagination. Flightless dodo birds and mothballed airplanes welcome too. Gravity need not apply.

Creativity with everything is always encouraged. We are asking for a maximum of 3 pieces per artist. Multiple artworks from a series are encouraged. Artist’s statement is important. Please include an artist’s statement that tells what drives each work or describes your journey (100 words or less). You may also provide a separate artist’s biography or general statement (100 words or less). Note that brevity fits better on the wall tags!

• All 2D (wall mounted) or 3D mediums will be considered.
• Priority will be given to work that is 432 square inches or less for for each piece (i.e. 18×24), plus frame, due to the limited wall space.
• Any subject matter will be considered.
• Please inquire early about special display needs.
• This is a curated show with limited space. Not all submissions will be accepted.
