We are seeking artists to apply with work that explores “Movement”. Humanity is always on the move. From the moment of birth we learn and absorb the world around us through movement and sensation. We are fascinated with traveling far and wide via planes, trains, and automobiles. Some artists seek to freeze the moving world into a quiet moment to capture it forever in a static two dimensional plane. While others seeks to express the thrill of fast cars, wind blown clouds, and racing horses. Celebrate movement of all kinds with us in this exhibition.
