WHAT WE WANT
For the month of July VAE wants to fill our Main Gallery with artist's depictions of their daily commute! We want to see transportation, travel, and traffic through the eyes of creative people. There are many reasons we think so much about our daily commute:
> Minimizing our environmental footprint by walking, biking or using public transportation
> To make life better by living in close proximity to the places we spend the bulk of our time
> Maintain sanity by leaving the house on time to avoiding congested traffic
> Because it is beautiful - yes, sometimes your commute can be a thing of beauty!
What is your daily commute like? Where do you travel to? What do you see along the way? What is your favorite part? What is your least favorite part? What would make it better? What would you like to see on your commute? What form(s) of transportation do you utilize? Make some art about it and exhibit with us in July!
This is a non-juried exhibition, all are welcome! Entries must fit through VAE’s 104″ x 71″ door to be exhibited. Two works per artist.
DEADLINE
Because this is a non-juried exhibition the only deadline is that your work arrive at the gallery by June 25 at 4pm!
ENTRY FORM
It is strongly advised that artists fill out the online entry form for this exhibition, but it is not a requirement! Filling out the online entry form streamlines the process for both artists and VAE staff, is the best way to ensure your artwork's label information is correct, and allows you to upload an image of your piece so that VAE can do more to promote your work!
