Call For Art: Happenstance

MarinMOCA National Call For Art – All media accepted – Submission deadline: Sept 30

Submission Deadline:  September 30

THEME: Happenstance draws from the concept of serendipity and invites works that incorporate fortunate accidents, coincidences, and unexpected events contributing to their development and creation.

Whether it was unforeseen results during material explorations, or adapting to the innumerable obstacles and challenges during COVID-19; various constraints and unpredictable situations produced serendipitous results in the studio. This exhibition celebrates those discoveries, highlighting the positive outcomes of embracing the unexpected, and turning challenges into opportunities.

The exhibition will feature work including all media, 2D and 3D.
