Identity:THINGS

Call opens October 25, 2019        Call closes January 3, 2020

Identity is a strange and fascinating thing. As humans, we possess the incredible ability to ascribe human characteristics to non-human and even inanimate objects. Our fairy tales are full of animals portraying human traits, and we all know how intimidating that pile of laundry in the corner of the room can seem at two in the morning.
 Valley Art Center in Chagrin Falls, Ohio begins 2020 with the final iteration of a three-year series of exhibits exploring concepts of Identity. 2D and 3D artists from the Chagrin Valley to around the world are invited to submit their work exploring the theme through representations of things. Artists may interpret the concept of identity in their own terms and may approach this call through any media and style. 
 
Entry deadline 4 p.m. Friday, January 3, 2020. The opening reception is Friday, January 24, 2020, 6–8 p.m. FREE and open to the public

Entry Fee: $15 a piece, up to three (3) pieces per artist
For this exhibit, all pieces must be offered for sale (no NFS)
