📄 Works on Paper – Exhibition Entry
🎨 Summary
Before the invention of paper, artists used stone, clay, plaster, bone, and even wax to create impressive compositions that embodied concepts of nature and beauty. In the ancient world, papyrus imported from Egypt turned the Roman Empire into a flourishing and almost completely literate society. Paper has captured our imaginations and carries a record of the past, from detailed drawings in the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci to the literary works of Charles Dickens. Though its impact is far-reaching, we rarely reflect on how this remarkable innovation has fundamentally transformed our lives for the better. We invite artists to participate in this unique opportunity to showcase how paper has transformed your life through the act of creating.
This regional exhibition is open to all two-dimensional artists working on or with paper as a primary material. Categories include watercolor, charcoal, pencil, pastel, mixed media, and any other medium with paper as a central component of the work.
There is no entry fee for this exhibition. Each artist is limited to three entries. Work must be framed and ready to hang unless the work is designed such that framing is not possible and some other format for hanging is provided. We invite artists to participate in this unique opportunity to showcase how paper has transformed your life through the act of creating.
This non-juried show will be on view in the galleries of The Art Center of Western Colorado from through .
