About
Submit up to 3 original abstract artworks for a juried exhibition celebrating abstract art by Indiana artists.
Overview
An exhibition celebrating the diverse language of abstract art by Indiana artists. We welcome work that emphasizes color, form, texture, movement, gesture, pattern, and conceptual expression over direct representation. Both non-objective and representative work with strong abstract qualities will be considered.
