Art Saint Louis and Saint Louis Artists' Guild announce "Drift."
DRIFT
"Drift" is a collaboration between the St. Louis Artists' Guild and Art Saint Louis. The resulting exhibition will be one exhibit presented at our two locations.
EXHIBITION THEME & CONCEPT
For this all media juried exhibit, we are seeking artworks that emphasize or reflect movement through space and time.
"Drift" addresses our movement between East and West and the relationship to nature and the world in which we inhabit. It also focuses on how people are affected by time, space and movement. Seeking original artworks that highlight these ideas and communicate a profound relationship with these concepts. As with all of our exhibitions, all media & styles are welcome and all responses to and interpretations of the theme are encouraged.
Questions that can be asked relating to the idea of "Drift", include: How do you relate to your environment? How does travel affect your daily experience? Do you notice the change of the seasons? How does environmental change impact your existence? Does time fly? What is your relationship with time? How is movement, place, time, and the environment depicted in your artwork?
