Open call - Ready for War

……..4warded………

Dear Friends,

READY FOR WAR: Open Call
[graphic]
The submission date has been extended to RECEIPT BY FEB 14.

This exhibition is my way of "acting locally," offering as many artists as possible a forum for expressing their sentiments about the grave state our country is in at the moment.

This show will be hung in our gallery and documented on our website, with reproductions of all works submitted.

Thank you in advance for your participation. If you can't send actual art (which is preferable for obvious reasons), virtual art is fine–we'll just print it out and hang it. We will return all work sent to us (on our dime) after the close of the show.

Thank you,
Barry
