The Village Theatre Art Gallery is seeking artists to submit original artwork for its 13th Annual Juried Art Exhibition: The Art of a Story. Books have the power to transport us to far away lands, real and make believe. We want to see these literary arts manifested into original visual arts. Show us your visual interpretation of your favorite place in a story (fiction or non-fiction). We want to see the wonderful literary world as it has been interpreted through the lens of an artist. Or! submit original designs of altered books and book pages that you have used to create unique designs and sculptures made from books and pages from books. Mixed media is accepted—so long as it is book themed or inspired. This exhibit will be up and on view from June 9-September 30, 2023 with an opening reception on June 9. If accepted into the exhibit, artists will be notified by May 26 and artwork will need to arrive by June 5. Original Artwork only—no replicas of exact artwork from books. Show us your interpretation of a place in a story—or original sculpture/ mixed media/collage made from repurposed books and/or book pages.
