Anything But Flat
Juried by: Joanne Mattera

Opening Reception: Thursday, May 30, 4-6pm
Join us in the gallery at 10 Meetinghouse Road for light snacks, drinks, and art!

The challenge for this year’s juried show is to create a work that has a tangible, physical presence. Of course you can submit paintings, but we’d like to see depth or dimension in your paintings, whether the surface is built up, carved into, embellished, or assembled in some way. Sculpture by its very nature is dimensional, so show us how you handle space. Mixed media works are welcome, as are book objects.

Juror: Joanne Mattera
