OCCCA Call For Art - Revisiting Beauty - Juror: Peter Frank, FF Alumn

Deadline For Entries: March 10, 2010.

The meaning of beauty has been debated
by philosophers since the time of the Greeks. Courted or scorned,
distrusted, devalued, deconstructed, beauty promises pleasure while
provoking awe, admiration and even fear. Beauty quickens the pulse.
Attention Contemporary Artists! OCCCA is now accepting submissions of
artworks representing ideas of the beautiful. Painting, drawing, sculpture,
photography, video, installation, and computer-based New Media projects

We are currently looking for artists of all mediums. This art show takes place @ Miramar Gallery on March 13th from 6pm-11pm. There will be a small hanging fee of $10 for pieces 16x20 and smaller. Any additional feet will be an extra $5. The artist will keep 100% commission. Deadline to submit art is March 3rd. Please send in jpeg format or a link to your website.
