“Inspired by…” Online Group Show

As artists, we learn and draw inspiration from those who’ve come before us. This month, we’re honoring “the greats” with an online exhibition of artwork inspired by a famous artist or work of art. Channel a favorite artist and borrow their distinct style, color palette, or subject matter. Or reimagine an iconic piece of artwork and bring a legendary scene into a contemporary context. No exact reproductions, please! Open to all media (photography, painting, pastel, sculpture, and more). Please note which artist/ artwork you’ve used as your inspiration.

Artwork will be featured on our website and social media for the month of May.

Exhibit judge: Jennifer M. Kruglinski, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Modern & Contemporary Art History at Salisbury University
