The Call
The Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) invites artists to submit work (in all mediums) for inclusion in home [hohm] n., v., adj., adv, an open juried exhibition at the Cultural Center and online at RNACexhibitions.com.
What is home? The idea of home has many different connotations and possibilities. It can reference a structure, a state of mind and even an idea of being. It is a noun, adjective, verb and adverb. We ask artists to explore the significance and role that home plays in our lives. How the spaces we inhabit represent ourselves, values, desires and cultures. Artists might consider the physical, psychological, environmental, political and spiritual implications of homes. All mediums accepted.
About the juror: Susan Erony is an artist whose work has focused primarily on history and the human condition, and on the creation of safe visual spaces in a troubling world. Erony has consulted to organizations on issues of art and society, taught, lectured and written on both art history and art practice, and organized exhibitions on subjects ranging from the use of artistic devices in creating prejudice to those showcasing the work of one artist. She has exhibited extensively in Europe, Canada and the United States, and her work is in public and private collections in North America, Europe and Israel.
