The Elemental Forces Exhibition seeks art that captures the various ways in which humanity responds to the awe-inspiring grandeur and delicate balance of our world through abstract expression, representation, or suggestion. In this exciting exhibition opportunity at the Elberson Fine Arts Center at Salem College, artists are encouraged to submit work that excels in the fundamentals of art as a way to interpret the complexities of life. The space is well-suited for sizeable 2D art, but all 2D work will be considered.
This exhibition is juried. A committee of AAWS jurors will select entries. This is an exciting opportunity to exhibit work in one of the most valued exhibit spaces in our community! Awards of excellence will be presented to select artists who creatively interpret the theme of Elemental Forces.

Venue:

Masonic Center of Winston Salem

UNBOUND – adjective – not restrained or tied down; loose, free, unconfined.

Unbound art reflects the idea that the artist has the freedom to create any form of art. It can be a blending of stylized hand-drawn aesthetic with graffiti elements, creating a look that is less photorealistic and more reminiscent of street art or comic book art. The artist may choose to present an ordinary object in an unordinary way. Anything “unbound” works, so enjoy the freedom of a loose and unconfined style and create!
