CALL TO ARTISTS
'Little Critters’
Have you ever used your dog’s hair to make a paintbrush, then used it for a series of paintings? Ever wonder whether you should save your cat’s hair to use in a fiber art piece, then actually done it? Do you design clothes for your dogs to wear on holidays? Or did one of your snake’s extra skins end up in one of your collages?
This is a call for artwork that not only speaks of our obsession with our pets, but art which is inspired by our furry (or not) loved ones. Some pieces might evoke this human-animal bond; others might try to imagine life from the animals’ perspective. We look forward to viewing artwork, literal or interpretive, that touches on this theme. All media including video and installation will be considered.
Organized by V Van Sant.
