Exhibition Dates: August 5th - September 10th, 2011
Deadline for entries Sunday, June 26th, 5pm
Energy is all. According to the Book of Genesis, creation began in a burst of pure energy - light. According to Einstein, energy is the source of all matter, and convertible with it. According to most artists, creative energy - an inner force - is the motivation of their lives. In the studio artists transform creative energy into material expression.
Artists are encouraged to submit works that celebrate the concept or force of energy in its broadest connotations or in its most focused denotations. The resulting juried exhibition will be a reection of the range and depth of the submitted works.
