The Other Side - Halloween Show, Call for Submissions

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Swoon Presents:

October 22nd – Oct.31st
THE OTHER SIDE
A Group Halloween Show.

Rather than wearing the mask, Swoon asks you to take it off. Let’s open some wounds and reveal the darker side of human nature. Peel back the layers; explore that which we most wish to keep hidden. There are many monsters which lurk in wide open spaces, there are ghosts that haunt and exploit our daily lives. Others may be afraid to look, unwilling to recognize something familiar, it may not be pretty but we will create something real.


Swoon – Fine Art, Antiques & Fashion is looking for artists to participate in this unique event.  This is a juried show. Images for consideration must be emailed (info@swoonfineart.com) to the gallery by Sept.26th, 2011. Submissions will be reviewed and once decisions made, artists will be notified by email.

Work can be in any medium, must be recent and must not have been previously shown. Artists can submit as many images as they like and should include the size, price and medium of each piece. (Note – Presentation, framing and the archival nature of the work will be taken into consideration.)

All accepted work must be delivered to Swoon by October 17th at the latest.

There will be an opening reception on Oct. 22nd, 2011 from 6pm-9pm.

Also on Oct. 28th there will be a Costume Ball and Fundraiser for The Provincial Autism Centre, featuring local Jazz group Jazzette.

I look forward to being disturbed,
