Under The Big Top

Country:

Eligibility:

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages!  Step right up for the grand delight of the summer art season!  Sure to please the eyes and wow the hearts and minds, this wonderous spectacle of the greatest proportions large and small invites the child within us all to enjoy the illusory, the mind bending, the odds and ends of every fringe, and the angel and devil who sits on every shoulder…  Exotic creatures, exotic attractions, and strange curiosities from faraway lands-  the parade of artistic invention and attractions is calling artists to lend their vision to an “Americana carnivale” of high-flying imagination!

We accept artwork from any medium*, including Student, Emerging, Mid-Career, and/or Professional Artists.  Work should follow and/or challenge the theme of the exhibit, can be edgy and/or evocative, and above all, should be fun and attractive for audiences and collectors.   Sculptural and 3D works are encouraged to apply.  

(Note that the theme of this show is not restricted exclusively to a setting that is located under a tent. It could be about lives, portraits of alternative lifestyles, festivals, gypsies, travels, costume, etc.)   

(*We unfortunately cannot show video art at this time)

“Under The Big Top” In-Person Opening Reception will be held Saturday, July 15th.  A second mid-show event is also TBD.  The show runs to August 20th.
