Recreation
We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Recreation” at the Confluence. The show will run June 2 – July 12.
Recreating in the outdoors often takes us to unforgettable places and leaves us with long-lasting impressions. Being outside is so engaging and transformative that people have invented numerous ways to access it. Activities like hiking, biking, climbing or skiing are experiences that are life-giving to many. It is no surprise that these inspiring experiences are also the activities of some artists due to the exposure to the wonders and beauty of the natural world. Artists are also attuned to the rewards that come from pushing past creative boundaries, which is not unlike the physical boundaries that are often needed to be pushed when playing outside. Both involve patience, stamina and skill. This show celebrates artists who vocalize their passion for playing in the outdoors within their art and reveal to us the meaningfulness when the two are fused.
Here are the rules.
Number of pieces to submit: up to 3:
Each piece must be:
Your own original work.
Available for sale.
Created in the last 3 years.
Never previously been shown in Okanogan County.
Any Size
Any medium
Ready for hanging with appropriate hardware/wire secured to work (works without hanging hardware or not professionally presented will not be hung. No dented or scratched frames unless that is part of the work)
Please Note: The curator(s) have the right to refuse work, even after work is delivered to the gallery if it does not contribute to the direction, cohesiveness, or available space of the show. We are looking for high-quality execution and thoughtful content that contribute to the vision of the show as stated above.
