Prospectus

Creature Comforts: is an installation and sculpture exhibition that explores the idea of the things that make us comfortable and at ease in everyday life. In modern day society many luxury items are considered a necessity and are difficult to live without.

This exhibition will explore the artist’s view on modern creature comforts, and society’s dependence on the luxuries in life, and their residual effects.

The jurors for this exhibition are Mary Cook and Allison Nance of microWave project llc. Founded in 2010, microWave project acts a conduit between artists and groups/businesses to provide space for temporary, popup, "micro" galleries. Their mission is to help promote these artists and educate the community by exploring alternative venues for emerging & established artists with an emphasis on site specific installation art. By developing programming to correspond with the exhibitions, they provide accessible art experiences to the public by encouraging community dialogue.

NOTIFICATION:

Notification will be sent via email, whether your piece has been selected by the juror or not. For mailed in entries, if you would like your CD returned to you, you must include a self addressed stamped envelope with sufficient postage. See calendar for date of notification.
