2 Thursday, January 14, 2021 GO! magazine — A&E in Northeast Oregon Call for artists: Puzzle show in April ■ Artwork sought that explores the ‘puzzle’ theme BAKER CITY — Baker City’s Crossroads Carnegie Art Center is encouraging artists to work on a puzzle theme for April’s open theme show, which opens April 2. “Puzzle” can take on a variety of meanings. For inspiration, Crossroads has included these defi nitions along with the call for artists: • “To cause uncertainty and indecision in; perplex” • “To clarify or solve by reason- ing or study” • “To be perplexed; to ponder over a problem in order to solve or understand it” • “The condition of being per- plexed; bewilderment” Also, here are some synonyms for “puzzle”: perplex, mystify, bewil- der, confound, baffle. The show is open to all mediums and artists. “The year 2020 was a puzzling time and, moving forward in a new direction, Crossroads would like to exhibit the past reflections and how it has influenced artists,” said Crystal Rainwater, community art director. Artwork will be accepted on Monday, March 29, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Late entries will not be accepted. The opening reception will be during the First Friday art walk on April 2, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The “Puzzle” show runs from April 2 through May 1. Unsold artwork can be picked up on Monday, May 3, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The entry fee is $20 for mem- bers, or $25 for nonmembers. A People’s Choice award of $100 will be selected during the opening reception. In addition to the entries, artists must submit an image of each item to be used to promote the show on the website and to make the art accessible to those who can- not attend in person.
