SUBMISSIONS SOUGHT
FOR ‘NATURE IN THE
ABSTRACT’
JOSEPH — The Josephy
Center for Arts and Culture will
open an exhibit on Jan. 7 titled
“Nature in the Abstract.” Artists
are invited to submit entries for
consideration through Nov. 19.
The curators are Ellen Morris
Bishop and Debbie Lind. Ac-
cording to the show description,
entries must depict a specifi c
natural subject. The artwork may
depict a real pattern in nature as
it exists (for example, a macro-
photo of the variegated colors
and patterns of lichen) or may
represent the artist’s interpreta-
tion of the subject through some
form of abstraction (a painting
that depicts the patterns of
fall foliage as blends of colors,
bands, and stripes). In either
category, the viewer may not
be able to identify the specifi c
object or landscape but is com-
pelled to consider the patterns,
forms, and design.
Eligible media are photog-
raphy, paintings, collage, 3-D,
including ceramic, fabric, metal,
and wood. There are two adult
categories — “Nature in the
Abstract” and “Interpretations of
Nature — and a youth category
for those younger than 18. The
entry fee is $15 per piece, or $10
in the youth category. Artists are
limited to fi ve entries. For infor-
mation, visit www.josephy.org.
