call to artists

Hello Artists, We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Inspired!” at the Confluence Gallery in Twisp, WA. The show will open on March 4 and will run through April 15, 2023. There will be a poetry reading at the gallery March 5. What inspires creativity?

 For some it starts with a poem, verse or some other inspirational words, followed by a beautiful photo or place perhaps. Poets may be inspired by a work of art, while a visual artist may be inspired by the written word. Poets will be invited to provide work that may be used by visual artists to create work. Visual artists will be asked to create work that poets will interpret during the exhibit. It is hoped this will create a call and response to visual and written sources of inspiration: the translation of words to the visual realm and translation of the visual back to words. Artists will create work inspired by local poets - the visual and written work may be shown together. Poetry created that responds to work during the exhibit will be recited at reading event(s) during the show.

NOTE: For the deadline you can simply submit an intent to apply.
