Submission Deadline: April 13th  | Notification of Acceptance: April 25th

Reception: September 12, 6 - 8 pm

 Interpretations: A marriage of 35 visual artists and 35 literary artists, each submitting one work of their own choice with any theme. Then, an art swap: Each visual artist receives a work from one of the writers; each literary artist receives an artwork. The task for each artist and writer: to create a second work of art or piece of writing, which is his or her interpretation of the other artist’s work. The result: A show of 70 artworks and 70 pieces of writing. The aim of the show: A reminder that we all see the world differently; our interpretations of the world around us are uniquely ours. How will each artist interpret the other artist’s work? How will the viewer interpret the written words and artworks in the show? This will be the 7th year of this extraordinary show. Each Interpretations show has a compendium book with all works included, that will be for sale at the Columbia Art League at the close of the show in mid-October.

Artwork must be made within the last 1-2 years.

Artwork must be ready for display upon arrival. All work that is expected to hang on the wall must be wired; no sawtooth hangers or triangle hooks will be accepted. All work should be legibly signed by the artist on the back (name + title).

Drop Off: September 5 & 6 | Pick Up: October 17 & 18
