A Visual Arts Show on War, Peace & Related Subjects - March 17-25, 2007 at Nugget Mall

CALL FOR ART
Everyone in the Juneau-Douglas community is invited to submit original works of art on the subjects of war, peace, terrorism, fear, militarism, civil liberties, torture, Presidential power, and other related issues raised by the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the so-called “War on Terrorism.” This show is intended as a forum for expressing your views through art. Works will not be judged, and awards or prizes will not be given. All visual art forms are welcome, including but not limited to: painting, drawing, cartoons, photography, silk screen, printmaking, graphic arts, computer art, collage, woodcarving, mixed media, sculpture, and video.

Stiff backing boards are preferred, and care should be taken to fasten exhibits firmly to the backing. Wire or strong cord should be securely affixed to the backing board. Entries may be framed under glass, but this is not required. Sculpture and other works not suitable for wall display must include a base, stand, or otherwise be self-supported.
