“The Art Vote 2008″: Arts and Democracy

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

“The Art Vote 2008″: Arts and Democracy, is a juried, thematic exhibition hosted by Cotuit Center for the Arts (CCftA). Voting is an active wish– a wish for change, for better days, a hopeful future. It is sometimes a protest of the now. Art can be a tool to invoke and inspire change. CCftA offers a challenge to artists to become part of the democratic process and create an “art vote”. John Lennon’s art sang, “We all want to change the world”. We challenge artists 18 and older to submit work to “The Art Vote 2008″ exhibition October 25 to November 23, 2008.

 

All media will be considered, including painting, sculpture, prints,graphics, cartoons, photography, poetry, performance art, and video. Complicated installations must be installed by the artist.

 

 

Eligibility: Artists age 18+ living or working on Cape Cod, the Islands, Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island may enter. Works previously exhibited at CCftA are not eligible. All media will be considered, including painting, sculpture, prints, graphics, cartoons, photography, poetry, performance art, and video. Complicated installations must be installed by the artist.
