CALL TO ARTISTS: GRIT: The Urban Landscape
September 12 - November 1, 2014 [All Co|So Galleries]
Submissions Due: July 21, 2014
The Copley Society of Art (Co|So) is seeking submissions for the upcoming national juried exhibition celebrating the urban landscape GRIT. Juried by Paul Ha, Director of MIT's List Visual Arts Center, GRIT unveils the raw fabric of the cityscape, delving into the interconnected nature of postmillennial life at its most fundamental level. Here, at the foundation of society, structure and chaos meld into one. GRIT is the examination of this intrinsic platform of the urban landscape.
