Transportation Exhibit

September 9 - October 5

Opening Reception:? Saturday, September 14, 3:00 - 5:00pm

Digital Submissions Due: September 4, @ 11:59pm

Boats, cars, bicycles, planes, and trains have always held a fascination for us. Perhaps vehicle romance stems from their ability to take us to new and exciting places, or maybe it's their elegant sculptural forms, or even the nostalgic memories that they stir in us. Whatever it may be... these "big boy/girl toys" are great subjects that inspire wonderful works of art. We are looking for art items related to transportation, new and old. This show will have a car show in the parking lot and the art and models in the BAC building.
