Bare Form 2009 Prospectus
Bare Form Opens this Friday, November 6, 5:30-8:30PM.
The beauty of the body has inspired artists from the dawn of history yet remains an inextricable part of the human experience. Our intimate familiarity with the human body bears the challenge to the artist….. transforming that which is known into an expression of emotion.
Eligibility:
All artists within 200 miles of Morgantown are eligible for the Bare Form 2009 exhibit. All forms of visual art will be considered, excluding video art. No reproductions will be accepted. Any work conceived as a multiple should be in an edition of no more than 12.
