Alter, convert, these words suggest change, but there’s one word in particular that suggests an almost startling, awesome change. That word is metamorphosis.
A change of physical form, structure, or substance, especially by supernatural means, Metamorphic Realities invites you to contemplate change in your own life. This is a loose theme and open for interpretation; do not feel stuck by the bounds of the theme. - Deadline: June 12th
- NOT Juried, first 50 pieces get in
- Masonic Center of Winston-Salem
- Members Only

Excerpt from the article:
“My first show ever was at Milton Rhodes with Associated Artists,” Michelle recalls. “I remember inviting everyone I know to that first show, and many of them showed up. I was just hiding in the corner. People would ask me to talk about my pieces, and I would come out of the corner, say one thing about it, and then run back. It was overwhelming at that first show, but now it’s uncomfortable in a good way.”
