Great Exhibition Opportunity at the 930 Gallery in Louisville. It is FREE to enter so make sure if you can you do. I know there are a lot of you who could.

All the details and entry are HERE with a copy of them after the jump.

For those that are not familiar with the 930 it is an organization in Louisville that is a music venue, art Gallery, Church, studio space, and a floor for child development.  They do lots of community service and community programing.  Darrell and myself have exhibited there and they are wonderful to work with.

DETAILS

ABOUT THE SHOW

Flora & Fauna, plants and animals, have always been a subject for art making.  If you open up a big Art History text book, one of the images you’re likely to come across from the earliest times will beTHE CAVE PAINTINGS OF WILD ANIMALS AT LASCAUX.  Flip to the back of the book and you might find ANDY GOLDSWORTHY’S SCULPTURES made from natural materials.

This juried show hopes to gather new artwork that takes the natural world for its subject.

Thanks to ARTISTS AND CRAFTSMAN SUPPLY for donating the awards!
