Alternate Selves
April 23 - June 26, 2010
Lexington Art League

Alternate Selves is an exhibition that explores the transformative power of costume. Through theater, annual holiday celebrations (such as Halloween and Mardi Gras), and even contemporary drag shows, costumes have allowed the wearer to reveal a new identity or at times hide from their own. Artists creating wearable items or those using costume, disguise, masks, etc. as primary thematic elements in their work may apply. Artists are encouraged to creatively interpret the theme. 2-D, 3-D, and time-based entries will be considered.

Eligibility:
Artists must be at least 18 years old to enter and cannot submit work that has previously been displayed at LAL.
