LOCAL>> Call for Art: So Real – Surreal

Application Deadline:  October 29, 11:00 pm

It appears we are living in surrealistic times.

The Surrealist Manifesto of André Breton was published almost 100 years ago, and the Dadaists were turning the world upside down to see how it looked.

Now it is time to express a 2.0 version that speaks to our world of post-fact, post-rational, multiple “realities.”  What do your dreams, hallucinations, fanciful imaginings, and unconscious compel you to create?  Show us the world through your uniquely “distorted” and “bizarre” lens.

This show is juried by Michael Yochum of ARC Fine Arts in San Francisco, CA.

Michael is a founding partner of Arc.  While working as a financial consultant, he volunteered with ArtSpan, the largest artist-member organization in Northern California and producers of San Francisco Open Studios.  He was the Chairman of that organization from 2009-2010.  Since founding Arc in late 2009, he has worked with many individual collections and corporations, helping them to connect with local artists.

Contemporary, expressionistic, abstract, exploratory, and/or experimental entries encouraged.

There will be a zoomed Roundtable art discussion to celebrate the show on Nov 16 at 4 pm Pacific Time open to all.

Each artist may submit up to 3 individual pieces of artwork for consideration into this juried show. Diptychs and Triptychs are considered 1 piece of work. Diptychs and Triptychs must be submitted as one image.  Unfortunately we are not able to accept film or video at this time.

$40 for NON-Members
