CAll for Entries: Water of Alabama
PaperWorkers Local’s second annual juried exhibition ‘Water of Alabama,’ a juried response to Marianne Nicholson’s Birmingham Museum of Art exhibition ‘Waterline.’
Marianne Nicholson is an artist of Scottish and Dzawada’enuxw First Nations descent and believes that Indigenous worldviews, including the notion of community connection to one another and to the land, can benefit all peoples. The varied people of Alabama have deep ties to the water and land of Alabama and it is our hope that those ties and appreciation of water will provide inspiration for submissions to this show.
The competition is open to all artists. All two dimensional works on paper will be considered. Accepted works must be delivered and retrieved in person.
PRIZES:
First Prize: $300 plus a solo show at Paperworkers Local in 2019.
Second Prize: $150
Third Prize: $75
JUROR:
Graham C. Boettcher, PhD, the R. Hugh Daniel Director of the Birmingham Museum of Art
