Borders.
Where do we find them and how do they shape us?
Why do we embrace or reject them?
When does a unifying contour become a divisional line?
Artists from the Great Lakes region are invited to enter a juried exhibition considering these and other questions related to the borders we find in contemporary life. Hosted by River House Arts and Owens Community Center for Fine and Performing Arts, the exhibition is an opportunity for both emerging and mid-career artists, including those working collaboratively. Submissions from artists 18 years of age and older will be accepted through the online service CaFÉ at CallForEntry.org.through February 1, 2016. (If you are new to the service, you will need to register for a free CaFE account.)
Borders will take place in the Walter E Terhune Gallery at the Owens Center for Fine and Performing Arts and in display spaces adjacent to the main space. Exhibition dates are March 4 – 31, 2016.
