Doorway, Frames & Windows Juried Competition & Exhibition
Doorway, Frames & Windows: Looking In or Looking Out
Juried Competition & Exhibition
A doorway or window can frame a view or experience. The mystery of what lies behind a door that is left ajar, or a window’s blowing curtain can tease the viewer, leading them to imagine what lies behind or beyond. A decorative door or ornate window frame can be enough to intrigue the viewer, opening a gateway to their imagination. A doorway or window from another country allows the viewer to see a landscape or culture they have never seen or experienced before. Use your creative and artistic skills to help the viewer see through, behind, or beyond doorways or windows.
Artists age 18 and older are invited to submit artwork for consideration for this exhibit. Photography will be accepted.
Juror: SEUNG LEE
Deadline: September 15th
