Call for Work: Deadline 1 June 2009
The Citizen Show
Merriam Webster defines Citizen as: "1: an inhabitant of a city or town; especially: one entitled to the rights and privileges of a freeman; 2 a: a member of a state b: a native or naturalized person who owes allegiance to a government and is entitled to protection from it; 3: a civilian as distinguished from a specialized servant of the state."
What does it mean to you? How do you interpret "Citizen"? How do you express "Citizen"? Good Citizen wants to know. Good Citizen Art Gallery in St. Louis is issuing an open call for a Juried Exhibition titled The Citizen Show. The Juror for The Citizen Show will be Thad Duhigg, professor of sculpture and Chair of the Art and Design department at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville.
