LISTENING TO WATER

Submission Deadline EXTENDED ONE WEEK: August 11, 2023
Show Opens: September 15, 2023
Show Closes: October 20, 2023

ARTISTS: A brief Artist Statement is required in registering for this show. This is intended as an opportunity for the artist to briefly discuss how the significances of moving water have influenced their art and/or how their art relates to water and riparian issues.

Middle Spring Watershed Association (MSWA), in conjunction with SHAPE Gallery in Shippensburg, are pleased to announce a call for art for
LISTENING TO WATER, an exhibit on the interflowing significances (e.g. aesthetic, emotional, ecological, hydrological, social, recreational, etc.) of moving water.  
This show will feature diverse art that aids people in contemplating and appreciating various aspects of riparian experience.
We are especially interested in art that:

  • Evokes the fluidity and movement of water; 
  • Calls attention to social or political issues relating to water and waterways; 
  • Interrogates patterns of interaction between people and waterways (individually or culturally; past, present, or future); and/or
  • Is kinetic or multi-sensory.

   A section of the show will feature art by teen artists, age 11-17, and there will be separate awards for artists in this age category.
