The Rowayton Art Center (RAC) is extending an invitation to artists during this unprecedented time of separation with the COVID-19 virus. Online submissions for RAC’s Shutdown Throwdown are accepted now until Friday, May 8, 2020. The show will run through June 30 and is open to all artists interested in exhibiting their artwork online.
The theme focuses how as humans, we have the ability to meet with great adversity and find a silver lining. As artists, we have the ability to transform adversity into a source of motivation and inspiration for our work. Whether you are spending this “shutdown” reflecting, introspecting, or appreciating simple things that suddenly seem sweeter, we want to know how it is informing your art. Creativity helps us all to heal, grow and have a little fun on the way.
Categories include oil painting, acrylic painting, watercolor, mixed media, color photography, black and white photography, sculpture, printmaking, pastels or drawing. All art entered is accepted to the show and will be uploaded to our online gallery every few days as received. Submit pieces at https://rowaytonarts.org/entries.
Visit the RAC website rowaytonarts.org for the prospectus and other information. There is a $100 cash prize for Best in Show. Let’s see what you’ve got!
